1) This is useless  by Anonymous Citizen on October 31, 2006 
Having a gun and not having it loaded defeats the purpose of even having it.

It's like having a car, and no gas.

I am 16 years old, and own two AK47 rifles, and several other rifles, as a minor, I cant own a handgun, so I keep one rifle locked up, and the other layed against my dresser, with a 5 round magazine loaded, laying on top(too high for anyone but me and my parents to reach). never had a problem, I simply explained to my younger sibling the dangers of firearms, and they've never even wanted to touch it since.

The reason I have the home defense gun, is because im the most firearms proficient in my home.

2) is that going to  by Anonymous Citizen on June 22, 2006 
include the law enforcement officer who walks into his local elementary school wearing a "non security rated" (in other words, plain ol' snap) holster?

i saw this happen. several times, with officer's from several different departments/agencies.

if i would have done that when i was on the job, i'd have been suspended for the rest of my life.

seeing this tells me that gun safety is not the primary concern of the author of this bill, but disarming the population is.

3) firearms are a part of our lives here  by Anonymous Citizen on March 9, 2005 
Why do we keep hearing these senators are always trying to make it harder for us to use our rights the way they were ment. These do gooders need to look at the real problem and apply some time and real thought to imposing gun safety into our public school systems. Its the kids curiousity that gets them into trouble. remember knowdlege is power. not the lack of it
