My dad taught me gun safety. The government taught me to use a gun to kill. The same government the left wants to have absolute power over me.

Firearm safety. How to change a flat tire. How to drive a car with a manual transmission. Not to walk through sketchy neighborhoods, particularly after dark. Basic basic life skills that every parent should teach.

(BTW If a pollster calls me, all my guns were tragically lost in the hurricane!)

Hopefully your children are old enough to know better and you don’t have any small grand children who can get a hold of the guns, otherwise you are responsible if one gets a hold of it and kills a little brother, sister or friens

My son was shocked to find out I own a gun recently. Funny because even last season we bought some ammo with him in tow, along with fishing and tent gear.

Yeah, I haven’t practiced in years.

I’m a bad mom.

You're a worse one if you've had, insisted on, or paid for, an abortion.

Of the two, guess which one is explicitly mentioned as a right which "shall not be infringed" in the Bill of Rights?

Which one was a vague "penumbra" invented out of whole cloth by an autofellatory liberal?

So guess which one *must* *not* *be* *touched* according to all the Gramscian infiltrators?

3% of the population owns 50% of the firearms in this country? That is completely ludicrous.

That happen to you?

Quite frankly, I think a lot of the stories where toddlers "get hold" of guns and manage to manipulate them to the point of shooting themselves or someone else are incredibly suspicious.

Why is that? I always wanted to shoot a gun and when we were children my brother had an air rifle. I always asked him to let me shoot it. He handed it to me and told me to look through the Finder. I tried to but could never see the target.

Later on when I got married I asked my husband to let me shoot a rifle, same result. Than one day he brought one home and let my try it. It kicked me in my shoulder when I pulled the trigger, that I said no way. Naturally as usual I did not hit the target he told me to shoot at because I could not see it through the finder.

The same goes for riding a motorcycle. I loved riding as a passenger behind my husband. One day he tried to teach to ride one. I showed him that I couldn't and shouldn't. Lets put it this way: Someone that pushes a bicycle down a hill on a street, instead of riding it down does not need to ride a motorcycle

You are an even worse parent if you aren’t prepared to protect your family.

Say that little changes like banning certain types of guns aren’t enough, abandon the incrementalism and just label guns evil, shame if not outright punish people for owning them.
Liberals have already passed laws in Ottawa and I think Massachusetts and California that if you oppose your child coming out as homosexual or transgender, the state can take your child away.
When liberals already conservatives crazy and being armed dangerous, now they want to say you’re an unfit parent if you are conservative and have guns .. the groundwork to take your children away if you don’t give up your guns.
