and analogies, and thank you for posting.

The gunner response of "I need it to protect me and my family," falls kind of flat when the lethal weapon is left in the open to be picked up by a kid, or stolen by a criminal. Responsibility is not a strong suit with the Second Amendment absolutists and apologists.

Steps to ensure gunner responsibility include mandatory insurance, registration, safe storage and carry legislation, and mandatory background checks before purchase. These measures could drastically reduce gun violence, crime, suicide, and help to slow down the gun dealer and manufacturer artificially induced domestic arms race for profit.
