H.R. 7910 IS TYRANNY – FIGHT BACK! (americanfirearmsassociation.org)

Go there now and send your congress person an email asking them to vote 'no' on this bill.

The main thing that bothers me is the mandate that persons with children have to lock up their guns 24/7, so that children won't be able to get them.

Aren't children curious? Don't they want to find out about stuff? If you don't tell them about guns, they will never know how dangerous they are.  My father had rifles shored away in a glass-fronted gun cabinet in the main hallway of our home. We walked past them every time we left the bedroom to go into the kitchen, living room or outside. Every time. My dad told us they were dangerous and not to touch them. We believed him. He taught us to respect them.

To this day, I still do.

Instead of hiding your guns away from your curious child, let them handle them safely. Talk to them about them. Show respect.

If you don't believe this, I hope no criminal breaks into your home because you might not have time to unlock your safe, extract the gun, and load your weapon.

How safe will your child be than?

Oh, and don't forget to send the email to your congress person.
