Re: A fine reason to ban weapons
[ QUOTE ]
So how does banning a weapon help to solve the "real" problem of parental negligence?
[/ QUOTE ]
It doesn't but it is one less thing they can be negligent about.

Had it been a baseball bat, would you be calling for a ban on baseball bats?

Had it been a baseball bat it wouldn't have ended tragically. They were young children playing. It wasn't their fault they were just being children. Yes the parents are to blame for their negligence and they will live with that for the rest of their lives but as a father of 2 young children myself I know how curious, ingenious and resourceful they can be when they are determined to play with a 'toy'. I don't want a complete ban, I want much stronger restrictions on where a gun may be kept. Parents are negligable, all parents, and I see nothing wrong with helping them out even if they disagree.
