Of course...nothing less. Financial Literacy. The difference between the "haves" and "have nots".

An armed society is a polite society. A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in. - H L Mencken

Yup, a gun is equipment specialized for throwing a small slug at high speeds with a minimal chemical charge very accurately. A bullet has about 1/10,000 of the chemical energy of a gallon of gasoline. We live every day life around sources of much larger power. Not sure exactly why the gun grabbers would prefer we use less accurate, more destructive sources. If we are lucky they are just ignorant - they do seem to be awfully tenacious so may...

8 year dead Suit has now been filed. Suit or no suit. The boy is dead. Parents lost their child. Friends lost their friend. All responsible (15 year old killer, the parents, the mfg, the organizer, the gun deal) should be sentenced to life without parole for premeditated murder.

Less than 2% of accidental deaths among children ages 0-14 are caused by firearms. More children die in auto accidents, drownings, fires, auto-pedestrian accidents, falls and poisonings. (Injury Facts Study ,National Safety Council, 1999) Swimming pools are far more dangerous to children than guns. If you really cared about child safety you'd be calling for 'swimming pool' control instead of advancing your 'anti-gun'...

Sounds like the movie "Idiocracy".
