Exercising the Second Amendment right to bear arms brings great responsibility, and storing a gun properly can save a child’s life. For the one-third of American homes that have guns, that means locking them up — unloaded — and locking up all ammunition in a separate place. A new study in JAMA Pediatrics, a journal of the American Medical Association, confirms that doing those simple things could prevent nearly a third of gun deaths involving kids by accident or by suicide. Taking those practical steps would have saved thousands of children’s lives in the past decade.
Ed.: An unloaded, locked gun is less effective a tool than a rock. |

Since when are doctors experts on firearms and self-defense? If I felt ill, I certainly wouldn't go to an FFL for advice.
Doctors: STAY IN YOUR LANE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
