A bad taste in my mouth: "Project Child Safe."

[Herself]

The Real Hawkeye wrote, and with good cause:

Actually, Herself, persecution of Christians doesn't bother the left at all. They do quite a bit of it themselves.

They do most of it, don't they? But it embarrasses them when they get caught at it. Paint yerself as a "victimized minority," and a good many of the bedwettingly-liberal trip over it. Hey, Quakers aren't forced to swear on a Bible, Seventh-Day Adeventists get a pass on "flag worship," it's about time more folks looked into such measures.

...Alas, my own faith gets very little recognition. Tsk. Seems they think it's a joke.

Uh, the cable lock is good for what? How old is a child before they find out about hacksaws and bolt cutters? You don't have hacksaws and bolt cutteres? So the cable lock prevents taking the gun to a friend's house where there are hacksaws and bolt cutters?

Dumb, dumb, dumb. False sense of security.

I was at the police dept and they gave me 2 of them locks. They are still in the bags they came in, sittin on my dresser.

The more they spread the idea that the responsible thing to do is to lock up your safety ... eh, I mean lock up your guns, the more it will be viewed by potential jurors that you are negligent if you do not.

I really think we're losing the cultural battle for RKBA here. The fact that something like that would even be considered...

Does anyone here really think that the kids listen to the teachers? We tell kids not ot smoke and drink and what do they do? They go out and smoke and drink! We tell them to do and not do a lot of things. Does anyone here remember being a kid.

I lock my guns and ammo seperately save for those I use for defense. If the firearm is not on me or needed by me it is locked up plain and simple.

Keep telling kids guns are bad and what do you think will happen? They will want to find out about guns! You folks will be out there to show them the light! There will be those who swallow the horse hockey but they are nowhere near the majority.

When I student taught I found the kids to be tough to reach. In this day of x box and gameboys it is hard to keep their interest. The best way to lose kids is to lecture them in school. So I feel that if the lefties want to preach down to kids they will in the end lose the war.

So to my left leaning friends I say, "rave on McDuff"! Thanks for the cheap cheesy lock!

REMEMBER, don't let them get you angry! Make them angry by keeping a cool head and a sense of humor!

Get a grip. There's a difference between storage and defense.

I agree... but the antis don't. Not once have I ever heard about an anti saying "unless you're using it for home defense. Then it's hunky-dory."

Antis don't care about you. They care about hearing of violence on the news. So when you have to shoot Julio, who is cranked up on PCP and trying to rape your wife, that counts as violence, and that is unacceptable to them. They want people shooting people to stop -- they don't care if it was justifiable, or in-the-right, they want shooting to stop. That means they'd rather have you tied up watching thugs rape your wife, shortly before they slit your throat, than to have you shoot them and have your family happy and safe.

They are YOUR enemy. I suggest we uniformly recognize that, and treat it as the realistic threat that it is. There is more than just politics at stake here.

“President Bush learned about Project HomeSafe when he was governor of Texas, launched it there as Project ChildSafe and pledged to expand its scope and support if he was elected president. He’s delivering on that pledge now, and NSSF is honored to be selected to administer this timely and valuable safety program,†said Bill Brassard Jr., NSSF managing director, communications, safety and education.

Whats worse is that these people have so many locks that they don't know what to do with them.

The Washington State Patrol asked for some to distrubute. They wound up getting something like a whole lot more than they needed. They had so many that they were giving them away to local buisinesses to give to their empoyees. My facility (1200 employees" got sent close to 1,000 locks. We still have them sitting in cases of 100 in our office. The state patrol advised us NOT to contact the program if we wanted more locks cause they send out a minimum of 10,000 at a time.

Your tax dollars HARD at work.

Wow, I'm so glad that most of the folks here--who are supposedly pro-firearms-rights--are voting for this guy in November.

For some odd reason I'm kind of amused at the thought of my ten year old sister raising her hand and saying "I need a lot more than one."
