So own a gun that you can shoot well and is dependable. Learn to handle it safely, keep it locked or somewhere that kids can not get it.
Shoot often enough to be accurate with it and be familiar with it's workings. No big deal, you are good to go. leasantry:

"How to Prevent Gun Violence
As written by Cluznar (aka Conrad!)"

"In a country of over three hundred million people, it may not be possible to stop all gun violence. However, there are ways to stop a good amount. In order to buy a gun you must submit to an FBI background check and this is a good thing. But we must remember that many people who end up on a killing spree have no criminal background. Therefore a background check will not always reveal any reason to be alarmed at this person buying a gun. I believe what the Government must do is a study on what age groups do the most amount of violent shootings. Then close in on ways to possibly prevent these shootings.

It might be good to have television commercials aimed at people learning to recognize someone who is troubled and has possession of handguns. When someone who owns handguns and talks illogically about their guns, it could be a sign they need help. Therefore people who live in a household with guns need to be more tuned in on whether the gun owner is having problems or seems to be developing a more hateful disposition. Stopping gun violence is accomplished by others noticing problems with people who own guns. A good gun owner knows that guns are for target practice, hunting, and defending yourself. A bad gun owner thinks they can use their guns to settle problems or do away with people they consider enemies. Remember it is the person, not the gun who commits the crime.

Another good way to help gun control is by having college classes which focus on people who have problems and may own guns. College students should be aware of other students who seem to have a bad attitude and also own guns. Students should be encouraged to tell college officials if they know another student who owns guns and may be having social or mental problems. It could be done anonymously and might save other peoples lives. Possibly having a class in high school about gun violence prevention would also be an excellent idea. Giving students some knowledge in ways to spot and prevent gun problems. Now another step which can be taken is to let teachers take gun classes and have concealed firearms. I know this seems like a drastic step and would frighten many people, but let's be realistic. If teachers in colleges and high schools were allowed to carry concealed guns and some crazy shooter was killing people, they could use their gun to stop the shooter. Use violence to stop violence you say? Well with someone killing innocent students you must take drastic measures. Unless you want to just count bodies after he is done.

As for gun bans, without a doubt assault rifles must be banned, citizens have no need for assault rifles in an educated society. Handguns, hunting rifles, and shotguns are more than enough for protection and/or hunting. There could also be a limit on the size of handgun magazines. Maybe make all handgun magazines ten rounds or less. This is an area where the government needs to get together with gun manufacturers and discuss these things. I understand Americans wanting the right to own guns, but not assault rifles or guns with large magazines to shoot a large amount of rounds.

Preventing gun violence will only be accomplished if everyone works together. Parents, school kids, teachers, and other gun people. You can not just make a new law and stop gun violence. Remember that criminals don't obey laws, and people with mental problems don't either. Notice when a gun owner is not behaving normally or logically and let someone know. It takes all of us to be able to lower gun violence. Don't take the guns from good people, that only makes the criminal feel more secure. More people with Concealed Carry permits are needed in every state and when someone gets a Conceal Carry permit, it should allow them to carry in every state. If criminals realize there are a lot of people with concealed guns, they will be more cautious about committing crimes. People with Concealed Carry permits could possibly save more lives. Don't shun the people who carry concealed, shun the criminal.

Remember, nothing will stop all violence, but we can stop a percentage of it".

She still has a ways to go, but gotta start somewhere!

In the article, professor Lu says that Mormons "rarely trend toward the suspicious, individualistic N.R.A. culture" She was obviously raised by one of the Harry Reid Mormons. Here in Utah (Mormon mecca), we take our hunting and protection of family and friends seriously. I have family members and friends with more than one gun safe and closets for the over flow. When Kalifornia begins their house to house confiscation, come here you'll be fine.

Yea, Utah actually has maybe the most relaxed gun laws of any State in the USA. I do know some people that don't have any firearms in their households but all of my immediate family own multiple firearms and most of my extended family also.

The bold print appears to have been regurgitated from anti-gun liberals. Come-on, nocluznar. Ban assault rifles? They are already banned, unless you are rich and pass severe scrutiny. Your magazine limit parroting fails as well. I may think of one instance; multiple home invaders who are armed. My defensive firearm of choice in the home is the semi-automatic version of your so-called "assault rifle" with a standard capacity 30 round magazine. I have other firearms that could be used for home defense, but they are severely lacking in that role. Don't dare feel you have the right to suggest limiting my home defense effectiveness I have legally chosen for myself and family.

One other note; we don't live in an educated society. Perhaps compared to a third world country we do, but that's not the point. Using this fallacy to promote your fear of black, semi-automatic (not assault, they are semi-automatic) rifles is really sad. What part of "semi-automatic military pattern rifles with standard 30 round magazines" are legal in most of the country do you not understand? These rifles account for such few murders compared to all firearms that they are barely on the radar. Murders are bad no matter the implement used.

Refer to the bold outlined sentence, "You can not just make a new law and stop gun violence" above.

Refer to the bold paragraph above and read the new laws that nocluznar would like to have made, that would not stop, and not affect gun violence. The only effect would be to leave law-abiding citizens less capable to defend attacks by murderous criminals.

I've seen convoluted, rambling effluent before, but this ranks near the top of them. There is only one thing in nocluznar's diatribe that I agree with; comments about concealed carry licensees. We save thousands, if not millions of lives by protecting our families, and others. Something you will not see in the MSM, or even mentioned by the left-wing, liberal nuttery. It's not in their agenda of lies.

We've had enough of left-wing liberal fools in this country, and you've played squarely in the middle of their ignorance and destructive, knee-jerk, emotion based stupidity. Congratulations, anti-gunner.

Indeed, "illogic" is in the eyes of the beholder.

But...I talk illogically about my guns all the time :wacko:
