To arms! To arms!
Ms. Price:
Perhaps you should look harder at the kind of upbringing your family members were indulged with. I also have a number of ‘cousins’ as you refer to them. I am not sure of the exact usage of your verbage, but will accept ‘cousins’.
I was raised in a household where there were a number of guns. Rifles, shotguns, other combinations of same & handguns.
While we certainly did not have an ‘Ozzie & Harriet’ upbringing there NEVER was one single thought that using a gun or grabbing a gun as a threat was acceptable. As we grew older, guns were used by every child raised in that family.
A GUN is an INANIMATE object. You may have to have someone explain that definition to you.
A gun doesn’t do any harm all by itself. It can actually be owned for many years by someone & never have any kind of problem with it’s usage!!! Surprise!
Nobody did a single thing about banning Oldsmobiles when Teddy Kennedy tried to test his ability to drive while intoxicated & killed his passenger....
You are on the wrong path towards a solution to gun violence.
Your solution starts with proper discipline in the home & in the schools, IMO. Since your ‘cousin’ is now not a threat to others of us who can behave in society, we all can sleep a little better, also.
