It's about as plausible as fender's anecdote about meeting a racist dude who despised Hispanics yet went out of his way to help some whose car broke down in the middle of the road

Something that I noticed about fender, regardless of what he is arguing about, he always has his own anecdote that applies to him

There was a topic about older men only going after 18-21 year olds being creepy, fender comes in and says his grandma and grandpa started dating in that age range (and his grandpa being like 10 years older than her)

Topic about people using the term "monkeying it up", fender comes in and claims that he personally has used this term (despite "monkeying it up" not really being all that common at all, especially in comparison to "monkeying around")

And then there's this topic and many more examples.

pretty much everyone i knew grew up with guns. you were taught as young as you could comprehend about them to limit any curiosity about them which leads to accidents. if you wanted to see it, you were shown it, shown how and how not to hold it and could handle it (unloaded and supervised obviously). if you wanted to shoot it you were taken out to shoot it supervised. this was when i was 6 years old. when i was 11 i had 3 of my own guns that were in reach because i wasnt a little psycho and was shown i could be trusted with them. 11 is old enough to know the dangers of the situation.

if youre going to have guns around you need to take away the mysticism of them which involves them always being around. thats not to say you should just leave shit laying around when kids are present (especially when kids have other kids hanging around), but they cant be hidden way and out of sight out of mind either which also leads to bad shit possibly happening.

that said if this kid was showing signs of violent or unpredictable behavior thats cause to keep firearms away from them and actually be "responsible" (which varies from situation to situation).

When I was about 10, my dad told me where "the pistol" was in our house. It was in a box tucked away in the back of the closet in my parents bedroom. It was unloaded, but ammo for it was also sitting right there in that same box. I never touched it once.


This happened


LOL!

How would that not be in the realm of possibilitys? Was literally the same exact way for me growing up. Tends to happen when your family is law enforcement.

Well if a guy called Edge Master said it happened then it must have happened.

It's almost like my disbelief applied to the poster (who has a history of making up bizarre anecdotes) rather than to the anecdote itself


Regardless of his anecdote, which really shouldn't have any bearing of the validity of the position and arguments either way, a lot of people do raise their kids like that without issue.

He did kill his grandmother with a gun.

But I'm frankly more baffled by the people who have an issue with people thinking children shouldn't allowed to have unsupervised access to guns.

What about the 15 year old that strangled his mom over something trivial as well?

I don't think anyone is blaming the gun here. Just arguing about whether or not a kid should be allowed access to a kid without supervision. It's weird you are trying to deflect from the conversation.

Because its the wrong conversation. You have millions of households with firearms that arent under lock and key, yet these types of incidents are very rare. But, incidents of violent outbursts by school aged adolescents are on the rise, with kids assaulting each other and adults.

It is very common for households that have guns in it to have parents teach their kids where the guns are, how to use them, the dangers of them, etc. And as a result, the overwhelming vast majority of those households get by without any gun-related incidents.

I don't get what your problem is here. You recognize that kids are hurting each other and themselves yet you have an issue with people saying that maybe we shouldn't also be leaving guns out for them to grab.

I think people should be punished if their kid uses their gun and harms others or themselves. But if someone leaves their gun out and nothing happens I'm not going to ask they get punished for that. I don't think they should be doing that tho.

I could also say that it's very common for parents to try to get their children to eat vegetables, too, and I wouldn't have a citation for that either because no independent science agency has ever done a wide-scale study on such a matter. So would you disagree with that statement then as well?


You make the claim, back it up with evidence. Don't deflect with some "do you need a citation on the sky being blue too?" bullshit

Yeah I'm sure that was the problem here the 11 year old didn't understand proper firearm safety

And we've seen stories where kids younger than 11 have protected a home from an intruder with a gun.


And we've seen many more stories where kids younger than 11 have played around with a gun and shot themselves/friends/family members.


Let's try not to let news stories in the media dictate our understanding of how daily life goes about in the vast majority of households that have both children living there and accessible guns.

When I was about 10, my dad told me where "the pistol" was in our house. It was in a box tucked away in the back of the closet in my parents bedroom. It was unloaded, but ammo for it was also sitting right there in that same box. I never touched it once.


I wasn't "letting news stories dictate understanding..", I was responding to AsAnIndependent's statement about guns helping youth prevent violence.

Tragic. I'm assuming the gun belonged to the grandparents- if that's the case, they share some blame as it was accessible to this kid. Gun owners need to take responsibility for how they store and secure their weapons.

Again, I wasn't disputing that they can help, but pointing out they can also hurt/make things worse (countless stories of kids playing w/ guns). In this situation? I don't know details of the family's habits, but if there wasn't a gun in the household the 11 year old may not have been lethal...(hitting or even stabbing instead).

Define "allow".

I mean, in my house, it was definitely against the rules for me or my siblings to go grab one of my parents' guns. We'd have gotten in trouble for sure. So they didn't "allow" us handle the guns in that regard.

However, we *could* have accessed them if we really wanted to. We could have gotten the guns out of the cases, loaded them, and fired them. Hell, even if they were locked up, all we'd need to do is find the key. Where's the key? Obviously in the house somewhere. Or on my parents' key chain. Not hard to find and obtain a key at all if a kid is determined.

That still allows access to firearms. Whether or not the kid would get a spanking afterward is irrelevant if they already shot up their family.
