My point in my prior post is that if the NRA or another organization/person doesn’t start making short videos for television pointing out how ridiculous the anti gunners are, we could very easily lose this war.

I hate to Abraham a previous post but wanted to zero in on something you posted that I absolutely agree with. Why not put out a video making an issue of how ridiculous some of these "studies" are?

The only thing I took away from this was that none of the parents have ever talked with the kids about firearms.

...........as if people store their guns mixed in with their kids' toys.......

Yeah, it is pretty darned absurd. I have no stats to back it up but I would be willing to bet most accidents where kids get ahold of a gun start out with the child finding the gun while rummaging around in places they should not be in the first place. Like mom and dad's bedroom. I am a huge advocate of keeping guns locked up from children. But it seems like most of the stories I read of kids shooting other kids while playing with guns found the gun stashed under a bed, in a drawer by the bed or even up on a closet shelf. I don't recall reading about a parent hiding their gun in the kids bedroom or leaving the gun just laying on the coffee table. Maybe it has happened... I just don't think it is the norm.
