Love your children? Teach them how to safely handle guns : “A Utah teenager died after apparently shooting himself with a revolver loaded with blanks. … The ’solution,’ as presented by those who wish guns to disappear, is to teach children to avoid them. They must be locked up in safes, separated from ammunition, we are told, so that children cannot access them. … The unintended consequence of the avoidance approach is it ensures ignorance, so if a child does encounter a gun, they will be clueless as to what to do next. … That means giving your children development-appropriate gun training. Notice I did not say ‘age.’ It varies …This means, at some point, you need to teach your child how to handle a gun.”


Before refusing to own a gun: ”The armed citizen has a tremendous impact on protecting not only self and loved ones, but also liberty in the sovereign’s monopoly on all lethal force in this country. That would be you and me. As the sovereign, we have oversight and authority over police, the military and Congress, not to mention little governments here. There is a tremendous threat to our freedoms when that sovereignty is challenged by our own public servants, and backed by the force of police and military which we ourselves grant them from one election to the next. The armed citizen and our liberty on all levels are inextricably bound only when we are armed and respected as the sovereign.”
