11. So who made you king and gave you permission to set parameters for legislation
Mon Jan 5, 2015, 01:55 PM

that might work to reduce gun violence? Tax deductions? Gimme something to do the right thing and obey a law? This sounds like every discussion I've had about storage in the gungeon.

Do you get a tax deduction on auto insurance because its required by law?

Frankly I don't really care what you find questionable. More than 200,000 guns are stolen every year and go into the black market. That alone should be reason for safe storage. Will even the cheapest gun safe defeat a determined suicide? It will deter some. Just don't leave the keys/combination lying around.

Self defense? Your paranoia doesn't concern me.

Contribute to the discussion of ways to reduce gun violence instead of nay saying about what won't work.
