[QUOTE="soberups, post: 862509, member: 14668"] I have a small safe with an electronic combination lock in my bedroom that I keep a handgun in. It cost about $40. My other guns are locked up in a vault. My children grew up in a home with guns and at no time during their childhood was there ever an unsecured weapon. Proper gun storage is an adult responsibility, just like proper storage of [I]any [/I]potentially dangerous item. How many teenagers steal alcohol from their parents liquor cabinet...or prescriptions meds from their parents medicince cabinet...and then go out and kill someone while driving under the influence? [B]Alcohol kills far more people than guns do[/B], so the same arguments that can be made for banning or restricting our 2nd Amendment rights could just as easily be made for banning or restricting the sale of alcoholic beverages. Are you willing to get a background check and apply for a license and go through a waiting period before you buy a six-pack of beer? Should you have to register that bottle of wine with the federal government? Should the police be allowed to come into your home and make sure your alcoholic beverages are securely locked away and stored seperately from any drinking glasses? Or at some point is it the responsibility of the parent to make the proper choices in their own home? [/QUOTE]
