Let me be clear. When I posted, I don't have issues with guns with themselves. I don't even really have a problem with parents teaching their son/daughter how to properly use one for hunting or even for target practice at a range.

What I was talking about was just general gun safety. I mean, if you buy a gun or buy one so your kid can use it supervised (and key word here is supervised), well, shouldn't you keep it under lock-and-key in a cabinet or something? What I don't understand are the freaky parents that just let their kids access the gun so easily, like keeping it in a their own room. And what parent can justify buying their kid an assault rifle? Far stretch between a hunting gun or even a pistol versus an assault rifle. Unrelated, what the heck about the hand grenades too? Unfrickin believable. WTF are these parents thinking? A son/daughter "needs" an assault rifle? Just my opinion, but this particular mom in this particular case deserves to go to jail.
