All the power to ya.

b) if you told me you had a gun in the house, i would no longer come over and would not allow my children to play with your children in your house. ever.

Really? A responsible owner informs you that there are firearms on his property you will no longer come to the house? Are you for real? This at least lets you determine if the firearms are stored properly and cannot be obtained by any children. Yet, someone who doesn't tell you they have firearms, you will have no idea what your children are doing at the house and how the firearm is stored, possibly just in the dresser draw loaded. Really makes no sense to me.

and here is the BUT
c) i fully support your RIGHT to own a gun and i am against gun control. really, pot is illegal, but its not hard to get. if someone wants a gun to commit a crime, the legality of guns will have no impact on their ability to aquire and use it.
d) i fully support the government creating strict and draconian PUNISHMENTS if your gun is used, on purpose or accidently, in a crime IF it is proven you did not properly store your gun and ammunition.

good poinst

e) bullets should be taxed at a rate of about $10.00 per round. people would then think really hard about how many they keep in the house and in stock.

That seems a little obsurd no? How could any afford to target practice? 50 rounds will cost you $500 bucks. Not to mention you can make your own ammunition at home.
