"Yeah, this is a good idea given that the GOP and right wing do thier best to ensure America has a gun problem and millions live in fear of gun violence.Only a bunch of cowards would think this way. Your fear rules you."That is a gem. :)So "mighty" dave, tell me more about this irrational fear of inanimate objects that you suffer from. Is it the power exuded by what you see as a large phallic symbol? Does this intimidate you? Does it make you feel inadequate?
These lawmakers just have to be kidding me. They just have to, is all. I mean what part of children and guns do not mix don't these irresponsible lawmakers there in West Virginia understand???!!! Have they not seen enough of their children's' blood being shed to want to actually ADD to their already outlandish, inappropriate and bizarre gun laws already in effect? While I agree that all human beings should have the right to self-defend their lives, when it comes to LETHAL self-defense (especially in the case of minor children), I become absolutely livid at the prospect of adults wanting to educate their children that a lethal weapon such as a gun, is the best form of self-defense. What I REALLY find difficult to understand is: 1) Why aren't more state lawmakers pushing for mandatory education in the schools on the subjects of non-violence and conflict resolution instead of teaching our children how to handle a killing machine like a gun, for goodness sakes?! 2) If the state lawmakers want to give self-defense lessons to our children in the public schools (after obtaining parental/guardian permission of course) they should at least see to it that it is less than lethal self-defense, such as martial arts and less than lethal weaponry. MY choice of the best personal less-lethal weapon is called the Avurt ™ IM-5 ™ gun and it goes without saying that when using it as a teaching tool for children, it would be deactivated in the proper manner as deemed by the trained instructors who would be in charge. Most important of ALL, until our mindsets are changed about the use of weapons, we cannot hope for a less violent world.

I always wondered when Liberal logic would circle round back in their faces on this one,, I mean,, this is the same reason we teach 9 year olds how to apply condoms in public schools don't we?? "education is the key" they always say
You make a good argument and I welcome any fellow Second Amendment supporter but every time I hear about a gun control law, it is 9 out of 10 times a Democrat. I get the NRA voting scorecard and a few Dems do get A+ and a few GOPs get F but they are the rarity and not the norm. When a Dem supports the 2nd Amendment, he isn't that liberal. When a GOPer goes against it, he is not a conservative, by definition.
In environmentally-adverse conditions (rain, snow) people will use condoms, baggies, balloons or whatever to keep foreign materials out of the barrel. This is a serious safety matter, actually, because discharging a firearm with a plugged muzzle will often cause it to explode.

No, the information I cite is proven statistics, not something I made up.

Almost as many Diggs as comments (35+), and it's not popular. Interesting...

It would make the Jihadis think twice if they knew every single person was capable of shooting them dead.
