Exercising the Second Amendment right to bear arms brings great responsibility, and storing a gun properly can save a child�s life. For the one-third of American homes that have guns, that means locking them up � unloaded � and locking up all ammunition in a separate place. A new study in JAMA Pediatrics, a journal of the American Medical Association, confirms that doing those simple things could prevent nearly a third of gun deaths involving kids by accident or by suicide. Taking those practical steps would have saved thousands of children�s lives in the past decade.
Ed.: An unloaded, locked gun is less effective a tool than a rock. |

Since when are doctors experts on firearms and self-defense? If I felt ill, I certainly wouldn't go to an FFL for advice.
Doctors: STAY IN YOUR LANE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? � Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
