Talk about it Tuesday Recap! #Guns don't kill people, People kill People

So, tonight I started a Talk about it Tuesday!

Tonight, I had more participants than I thought would chime in, but I love it!

Here was the first Facebook Post:

Tonight's 1st talk about it Tuesday Topic:


Who is against guns? Who believes the phrase "guns kill people?"

and Yes, I know I am opening a can of worms here! But I need to know every ones thoughts before I post the blog post...

Unanimous Decision:

Guns are not the ones to kill people, people pulling the trigger kills people. You don't need a gun to kill, you could kill someone with a spoon. There are so many tragic endings to lives, that could be avoided, especially the ones involving children. If the gun owner had been educated at all about their firearms, they all could have been prevents. The children that die because of parents leaving loaded guns in drawers, or under beds because they live in a "bad" neighborhood, is not an excuse. If the neighborhood is THAT bad, then you should not live there.

Having guns in a house with children is okay as long as they are locked up, and disassembled. Everyone who agreed said that when they were young children when they were introduced to guns, before they were even curious to what guns were, and that they were educated by their parents about them. They were educated on what could happen with them, and how they worked, and the proper handling. They were educated the right way, and when old enough they were taught how to use them in a safe manner.

 It was agreed that NOTeveryone should be able to buy guns when they reach a certain age, and that there should be a requirement of getting a certified education by an instructor, and holding the proper license to own one.

It has been said before that "gun's kill people" and this saying tonight has been talked about. It is not the GUN that kills people, it's the person behind the gun, who pulls the trigger that kills the person. Hence why the person who uses the gun is prosecuted, and not the gun itself.

The Second Amendment states: "... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The meaning of this amendment would vary on whom with you speak about this. I do not think it's infringing on your rights to have and bear arms if you are required to be properly trained with the firarm you wish to have in order to be able to purchase it. I DO NOT think you should be allowed to just buy a gun.

Did you hear a while back about the person who shot his foot off, and then sued the gun company because it happened? Now, if this person was properly trained on his gun, and how to use it, that would have never happened.

All these familes who had guns in the house, and who's children died because their children got a hold of their gun out of curiousity, should be prosecuted becuse they were negelectful, and untrained.
