I have a 12 year old daughter who is very smart, but she still makes decisions like a 12 year old at times.  I don't want her too have a gun.

In the case that inspired this law an 11 year old boy got a loaded shotgun from an unlocked closet and killed an 8 year old neighbor over a puppy.

You can't just say "Everything is okay until something goes wrong then we will punish people."  That is like saying it is okay to drive 100 mph through a residential neighborhood as long as you don't have a wreck.

..and alcohol plays a role in 40% of violent crime. Should we look to outlaw drinking?

Good for you that you do not want your daughter to have a gun. But do you really want the government telling you, she cannot if properly trained. What about if you are an outdoors man and want to introduce her to hunting?

As I said at the beginning this is where Liberals and Conservatives actually swap sides.

Do you want the government telling you what you can do in the privacy of your own home?

Do you want the Goverment telling you you must lock your doors and windows?
