I wish we could just achieve consensus that we have far too many shootings.
By parallel with auto deaths, for decades we kept blaming the drivers on the excess and tragic traffic fatalities.
But then things changed. How did that happen?
Why, we decided to require seat belts. And seat belt use for teenagers and their adults during drivers ed.
What is the equivalent of seat belts/seat belt use for gun owners? You tell me.
But pretending that training will get us where we want to go is just not reflecting data or human nature.
3 kids arrested with guns, 15, 16 & 17 yr old kids with hand guns.
We don't need new laws, we need to put these violent kids off the streets for a while.
"Illinois prohibits any person under age 18 from possessing a handgun. (Federal law prohibits persons under 18 from purchasing long guns, and persons under 21 from purchasing handguns.)"
