"How the 13-year-old got the gun that killed David Walker remains critical to a better understanding of how he might have been saved. Even if the shooting turns out to have been an accident, the availability of weapons to teenagers is a problem that society must continue to confront. The one certainty about what happened outside Ivey Green Village is that David Walker would be alive if a.22-caliber handgun never had entered the picture."
------- He would also be alive if his parents bothered to teach him respect for guns, and educated him how to handle them properly. But the gun banners would much rather avoid the problem than tackle it like responsible adults. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
