I am all for keeping loaded weapons out of the hands of an inexperienced person, but I think we have some valid points that they need to elaborate on:

1) What constitutes 'a child'? Most people in rural areas were hunting at a very young age, and most probably know a lot more about how to safely handle a gun than some of the recent persons whose knee-jerk reaction to Obama's presidency was to run out an buy a gun.

2) So we build a safer gun. Ok. Now what about the millions of guns that are already on the market? I simply do not see a 'once size fits all' solution here. I didn't say it was impossible, but I will say this - not easy...

3) What constitutes an 'assault weapon'? Magazine type/capacity? Muzzle velocity? Rate of fire? Ability to conceal? I think anything can be taken to an extreme, and I believe that is the concern of most.
