Or maybe they won't have such dangerous sh**t around, but I guess I am just dreaming at this point.

If by around, you mean at home when there are 3 year olds there, hell yeah, I agree!  My nephew is visiting for the week....he's 9.   There ar no guns in my house now.  When he leaves, I'll bring one back from my office.

Yup, that's what I meant. These are dangerous things and people need to take responsibility and take care of them properly, especially when kids are around. I fear the celebration of guns has made people less likely to take such precautions.

No doubt.  It's hard supporting very liberal gun policies when you have splendid examples of irresponsible assholes constantly being themselves.
