I ask anti-leaning friends if their kids know where they keep their cars, and their keys, and why their kids don't take the cars out for a spin when they're not around? "My kids know better than that."
So why not guns? Why do they have to be a secret? What, your otherwise smart kids are rendered instantly retarded and unable to resist guns?
I have a relative who is so anti it isn't funny. Once when the subject came up, I asked if she would rather be gang raped and beaten, or have a chance at self defense because of one of her comments. She actually said she would. I motioned to her sons in the other room, asked if she would rather have a gun to protect them, or watch them get murdered. My mom walked away when she heard her answer. So did I.
We don't talk about it. I believe she would get on the stand against anyone who used a gun, even if it meant she had a live child vs a dead one. Some people willl hate guns no matter what. Some peole will NOT change. I focus on the ones who will.
