It will. So do you agree our elected officials should be on the plan to act as examples in this fine program? Sure. Why not?

Foreigners say they are no longer surprised at U.S. gun violence LONDON — Jimmy Davis, a 41-year-old London disc jockey, was saddened when he heard about the latest mass shooting in the United States. But like much of the world after the attack at Washington’s Navy Yard on Monday, he was no longer shocked. The United States is a place where “buying guns is like buying sweets from a sweet shop — it’s no problem,” Davis said Tuesday on a busy shopping street in southwest London. “So when we hear there are shootings like this in America, we are not really shocked. Know what I mean?” washingtonpost.com

Father tells 6-year-old with 3 years of gun training to lie after shooting sister in face By David Edwards rawstory.com Tuesday, September 17, 2013 10:30 EDT A Wisconsin man is facing charges for allegedly telling his 6-year-old son, who had at least 3 years of firearms training, to lie after shooting his 4-year-old sister in the face with a shotgun. In late August, WKBT reported that Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in the Town of Alma, where the 4-year-old girl had been struck in the side of the head with a shotgun blast. According to the Jackson Country Chronicle, authorities in Jackson said this week that 48-year-old father Fred B. Maphis had told his son to say that the shotgun had accidentally gone off when he dropped it. But the son later admitted that the father instructed him to lie because he had pointed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger. The boy told authorities that his sister had asked him to aim the shotgun at her, but he had made the mistake of putting it too close to her ear. A sheriff’s office complaint said that the mother told investigators that the boy had been training with firearms since the age of 3. She said that he had his own .22 caliber rifle, but he was only allowed to shoot with adult supervision. The father insisted that he had just forgotten to unload and secure the shotgun. Maphis was scheduled to be in court on Sept. 23 to face misdemeanor charges of leaving a loaded firearm near a child and obstructing an officer. Initial reports said that the girl’s injuries were not life threatening. Watch the video below from WKBT, broadcast Sept. 17, 2013.
