I don't have a problem with the gun. I have a problem with someone being so irresponsible as to have a weapon like that in that close proximity to a child, when the person has shown by her subsequent actions that she is not in complete possession of her faculties. In other words, anyone who is capable of blowing herself to bits, along with 4 innocents who did not ask to be blown up, is certainly not competent to be handling weapons around children or anyone else for that matter.

Fact of the matter is, there are lots of people too crazy or volatile to have guns around. That doesn't mean the government should outlaw them, if that's what you think I mean. I am opposed to gun control. I am in favor of RESPONSIBLE exercise of personal freedom. (If you can't handle a gun then have the common sense not to bring one in your house.)

I also have a problem with someone holding a hot cup of coffee that close to a child. Odds are the kid is going to jump, and the coffee is going to spill, and the kid is going to get burned. (OK I'm a mom - I worry!) But I don't think the government needs to step in a regulate how hot we can make coffee in our homes.

Responsible, personal exercise of freedom.

Told you I'd offend someone. But I did so nicely I think :)
