I have one thought from today, and I want you all to share this with your children, and/or understand it for yourselves. This nation is full of guns. You or your children may easily encounter them some day, whether you approve of them or not. These are the four cardinal rules of gun safety, and if every person understands them, and remembers them, perhaps tragedy can be avoided. Please understand I am not trying to change your opinion or influence you one way or the other, but you should know these rules. If everyone in the country knew these and followed them implicitly, tragedies could be avoided.
1. Always treat every gun, as if it is always loaded.
2. Never point a gun at anything you do not wish to destroy.
3. Always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Always be sure of your target, and what is behind it.
I will also say that for younger children, they should be taught that if they encounter a gun, at home, in a friends house, anywhere. They should stop, do not touch it, and inform an adult immediately.
Please also if you have young children, keep your guns secured and inaccessible to them. There are plenty of secure devices, such as fingerprint safes, which allow you quick access, but are inaccessible to children.
God bless you, and keep you safe.
