Maybe you ought to try a little compazine or some Reglan- you certainly seem to have a easily upset stomach. I understand Marinol is good for nausea... [:D]

Is that the best you can do?
Seriously, I don't think legislation is necessarily the answer

Necessarily? Necessarily? OMG... of COURSE its not the answer. More gun legislation, now thats what we need.
but I do believe every gun owner has a moral and ethical responsibility to secure their weapons efectively.

As do I. And the Government, and YOU, can keep your stinking noses out of what I do in my home, thank you very much.
In Netherlands, (and Finland?) IIRC, you're allowed almost ANY weapon (including silencers), but are required to demonstrate adequate security measures including safe storage facilities. Works for me!

Thank God I live in the USA.
Personally, I don't think the 2nd amend. doesn't give permission to some yahoo to keep guns easily available, either to kids or to crooks.

What I do in my home is my business.... and how I store my posessions is my business. If I want to keep a loaded rifle by the door, that's my business how I train my children to use and respect guns. Guns dont kill people, people do.... or have you forgotten that?
If you or your family were hurt by someone under those circumstances, I'd bet you'd go after the negligent gun owner, as I would.

Absolutely NOT. You must be a lawyer... I would never sue someone like that, this country is sue crazy... and you are part of the problem. If someone's guns are stolen, and used in a crime, then I am going after the jerkwad who committed the CRIME, and then also get him for theft. I would not feel any different if it happened to me or a loved one. I see no need in playing the blame game as you do.
I think in those situations, it IS my business.

It seems that we mostly agree, and I'll bet you DON'T leave a pistol under the mattress...

Nope, I sure dont. It's in the drawer, right next to the bed.... where I could USE it if I needed it.
But we do mostly agree about safes... just not on the legal aspects of the Government getting involved in what I do in my home, on my land. This country is getting out of hand, and we see it so much, we are getting desensitized to it. Makes me sick. You take care of you and yours, and I will take care of me and mine.
