My Views On Gun Control

 With the
New Zealand
shootings still fresh in our minds,
I thought this
Post
from
February 26th, 2016
would explain on how I feel about
Gun Control.

*******
And when you thought people couldn't get any more ignorant, here comes the "Iowa Lawmakers, (Who) Approve Bill That Would Let Kids Have Handguns." By Kim Bellware for The Huffington Post.
I thought
Texas
had a bunch of Jackasses  for Lawmakers,"Texas 'open carry' law passes, allowing guns in holsters on the street." The Guardian."Texas lawmakers approved carrying handguns openly on the streets of the nation’s second most populous state on Friday, sending the bill to the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it and reverse a ban dating to the post-civil war era." I'm sure all the people living inIowa were so upset by Texas beating them out on the "Open Carry Law,"that the only thing they could think of to do,to be ahead of them in ignorance was to "Give Guns To Children.""Children of all ages in Iowa would be able to lay down their toy guns and pick up the real thing under a bill that passed the state House of Representatives. Statehouse Republicans, including the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jake Highfill, said the the legislation was an issue of parents' rights designed to correct "an injustice in Iowa code” that now forbids children 14 and younger from handling pistols. Allowing people to learn at a young age the respect that a gun commands is one of the most important things you can do,” Highfill told The Washington Post on Wednesday. The alternative, he said, is “turning 18 with no experience.”If we only had a system
that could teach someone how to handle a gun?I know that setting up Classes at a Firing Range with aProfessionally Trained Marksman to teach people, Under Age,how to handle a firearms would start a whole new industry.
And who would train the
Professionals Trainers?But we already have these moronic Laws
in place with kids killing kids. Couldn't the Law have specified,before a youth was allowed to have a pistol,even under parental supervision,he would have to have these Classes With A Professionaland then be Certified before he got a gun?If you ask me,most parents don't even know how to handle a gun.I know a few grownups who carried gunsand they didn't have a clue on the safety issues.Some of them are in jail nowand the other half are dead from self inflicted wounds.I wouldn't want their children carrying guns around if they were taught by their parents who thought it was cool just to carry one!
If you are thinking of getting a gun,check these websites out and maybe we will have one less accidental shootings. National Handgun Safety Course or Education & Training
