Firearms training, and I ask that you look at my original post, is necessary for the common defense of this country. There are too many people who are afraid of firearms just because they never have had any exposure to them. Yes, this is a tragic accident. But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you are afraid of firearms and don't want anything to do with them, that's OK, you don't have to. However, many of us enjoy the sport of target, hunting, plinking, etc. and don't want your ignorance (not a bad word, perhaps I should say unfamiliarty) to restrict our right to continue enjoying our sense of security in our homes, and our sport and most importantly our right.
I would encourge any of you to seek out a firearms owner and ask them to take you to the range to try shooting. You won't be dissapointed, I would guess that 100% of those who are asked would not only take you, but pay for everything. It is a fun sport, and despite this child's death is a safe one.
