Guns Nuts Would Give Up Their First Born Rather Than Give Up Their Gun - Would

let's give the gun nuts a little benefit of the doubt, shall we? i'm sure many gun nuts are also devoted parents fully capable of prioritizing their offspring over their arsenals.

however, your offspring are fair game.

they call them accidents. But, it doesn't exactly seem like an accident to me when guns are left where children can get them.
