For safety’s sake, keep weapons away from children

Recently, I saw a public television report on how the death rate among children and teenagers is increasing at an alarming pace. Sure, we use guns and rifles for hunting and protection, but are children are seeing them as curiosities and weapons for anger.

The bodies we are burying are those we supposedly love and their friends. Please help to keep all children safe from themselves. Do the right thing, and put your weapons in a secure place. Remember, guns and rifles are for hunting, recreation and defense, with the first line of protection being our homes. Think about it and save your children.
