Bay City Mayor Kathleen Newsham says she's not telling people whether they should own a gun, but she does want gun owners to be extra careful.
At a 7:30 p.m. Bay City Commission meeting Monday, May 16, Newsham is issuing a proclamation that recognizes June 2, 2016, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day...
The proclamation says, "Whereas, with few gun regulations in place and only one state mandating that guns are stored in a locked place, we can do better." It goes on that "most gun deaths involving children could be prevented by teaching people the correct way to store guns in the home," and includes statistics, "on an average day, 88 Americans are killed by guns, and on an average day, seven children and teens are killed by guns." |

| The best way to keep children from killing themselves and others is to teach the children, correctly, about guns. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. � Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
