Our son was allowed to play in the homes of family and friends who owned guns. However, only in those who showed respect for the danger of the damage a gun (like a car) can do to others by having and using not just gun safes and locks, but, most important, showing responsible common sense. Setting reasonable limits is the obligation of all parents.

We require testing, the responsibility of insurance to protect others, and legally enforced limits on driving a car.

Responsible gun owners (especially parents) should be leading the charge for effective limits that allow responsible gun ownership while protecting our children and other loved ones.

Why is that too much to ask of gun owners?
