Again, not to be cliche but when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. As far as the kid rumaging through the parents room thats on the parents not on the guns. My dad has/had guns. I rarely went in his room and when I saw a gun guess what I didn't play with it. Wanna know why? Because I am not an idiot and my parents raised my to know what things are. Kids play with guns because they know what they are but have never messed with one before. A little gun knowledge and maybe even a little shooting range time wouldn't be a bad idea. That said I am defintly in favor of gun safes. As far as people can kill people with guns... Maybe. But most criminals who are regulary in gun deaths could just as easily beat someone to death with a bat. I mean you don't have to be THAT big. The fact is they don't increase the deaths and injuries. Which is to say they do. But if they were outlawed they would increase even more so. Because if guns are outlawed and I have gun I am at an advantage. Because I KNOW that this law abiding citizen does not have gun. What am I to do as a law abiding citizen if some criminal pulls a gun on me? And don't think for a second if guns are outlawed criminal death from guns will decrease. They will have just as much guns if not more. Selling guns would be another money maker for them. Again we need to focus on the problem which is the criminal and the society that makes the criminal and not one of the symptoms which is gun violence and defintly not a tool of the sympton.
