>>'...this is how reasonable compromise is spelled.'<<

This is how "sitting duck" is spelled: 'trigger lock'...

and I never said anything about 'quick draw'.

Why should I have to compromise my own safety, security and comfort because some x/con drug addict failed to protect his own, [and someone elses], flesh and blood...?

I feel like Jesus already...

I follow the rules.

I don't even have a child in my household...yet I would now be legally responsible for becoming and required, [is it by 'society' or is it by the 'state'?], to become part of a 'solution' to somebody elses problem?!

That's as wrong as the simpsonoj verdict.

>>'You surely have the right to terminate what's inside your own body...'<<

And I surely have the right to bear arms.

This is about a lot more than 'children shooting children'.

Where's the Outrage when it happens in the inner city, every day...?

This is about using the emotional affect of children killing each other to regulate firearm ownership...one step at a time...until the right to KaBA is no longer a constitutional right.

>>'Society has the right to regulate what it considers dangerous.'<<

Oh, really...!?

You mean the state has the 'right' to regulate...

All this protective regulation...That must be why it's such a safe 'society'...!

I think we ought to begin to license, and further regulate Parenting to insure against irresponsible individuals perpetuating poor gene pools, or other haphazard miscreation.

Proclivities for Booze and cravings for Base Hits, [and what the heck, throw in criminal records for violent crime convictions], would preclude one from being licensed and registered to reproduce.

>>'Why should guns have special status?'<<

They don't. Firearms are registered...and I am in favor of requiring concealed weapon permits for those who apply to carry.

Perhaps the 'TriggerLox' requirement could apply to those gun owners who have children in their households...to the exclusion of others...

You know, check the relational data bases...we're all on the record...

Part of the PCP... The Parenting Certification Program.
