I recently wrote a post on Sulia.com titled Kids start playing with a loaded gun at home, 10 year-old boy is dead, shot in the chest. The post pulled in numerous comments that spoke to gun safety, parental negligence, the National Rifle Association, firearm education, stockpiling weapons, and alcohol and drugs. I believe that the comments are so good that they need their own post; hence this.
All of the comments, in my opinion, represent good arguments about guns because they explore the gun-worshiping society in which we live. The comments are included in this post because their voices need to be heard again. The comments are good reads whether you support gun control laws or not because they are from the writers’ experiences and are written with feeling.
My thanks to all the commenters; it was, and is, impressive!

NRA: Are you happy yet?
Are our politicians, who are complicit in every gun death, happy?
You, NRA and politicians, have protected our Second Amendment rights at the cost of children’s lives! Satisfied?
“A 10-year-old boy in San Diego has died of an apparent gunshot in what authorities deem as an accident, after children were playing with firearms found in their home. The boy accidentally shot himself in the chest while playing in a garage. The Associated Press reports that no adults were home at the time of the incident and a 14 year-old was babysitting.”

@Carla – interesting about the Nebraska Furniture Mart!
All parents should increase their awareness about guns in their families.
