The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LOL. Ever heard of the Gun show loophole? Republicans refuse to close it.

Yes, I've read about it. IN fact there's a brisk trade with weapons being bought down south, moved to the north and sold there for extra $.

The Suicide Belt is out West in the high desert plains country.

We are very stupid when it comes to kids with firearms. Have you ever had a baby grab your finger tightly? They have one helluva grip, and they can easily come up with 5 lbs trigger pressure to pull a trigger. We need to start putting people in jail for at least 30 days for leaving their guns out. Just don't make them felons.

I know it gets me in trouble, but I've advocated for some time giving a tax credit for poor people for gun safes, along with a mandate (some exceptions), and working with Civic Groups to get guns safes everywhere. Make it part of reshaping people's thinking about gun safety. Bombard them with gun safety and make low kid deaths a point of civic pride.
