That's a little harsh my friend. Guns are a wonderful American tradition and bring many a family together. Just like drugs, guns should be handled responsibly, but I’d not favor the government to tell me if I was able to own one or not. Let's hope however, that the family learned a lesson here.
Are drugs as wonderful American tradition? That seems rather depressing. It seems stupid that a family should have to learn a lesson like that after their child is shot. I don't understand what is wrong with gun control, at least with shotguns?
