[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 623851, member: 6705"] I personally have a .22 AR-15 semiautomatic. That sounds scary, doesn't it? Given that it is properly cared for and locked, with ammo locked in a different location entirely... Well, that and semiautomatic sounds a lot worse than it is. In my case I just don't have to reload after every trigger pull. I used to have HUGE issues with any kind of firearm. Until I learned to shoot, and learned gun safety. I had to; with husband having a hunting rifle and a .22 for the kids, I wanted to make sure they weren't a liability. They had locks; I bought new ones. They're used for target practice, gun safety with the kids, and the hunting rifle is for HUNTING. Due to their location, the odds of an intruder using it against one of us would be astronomically low, because by the time they got through the entire house to the firearms, the cops would be there. Someone would have to know where they are kept and get by me and husband. And the dog. The problem as I see it is the father shot the kid. You shoot at a person only with the intent to kill. And you only aim a gun at someone you intend to shoot. And if he engaged in dialogue with the kid - um. The ONLY dialogue I can see is to 911 that there's an intruder. Yeah, I'm pro-firearm, but only responsible firearm ownership. This guy doesn't need to be near one. [/QUOTE]
