Excellent question. Glad you asked.
Firearm bought at his request…..in my name.
Ask me how much access he has to it (and any of our guns). I’ll save you the time: ZERO access except when accompanied by me. It’s in a gun safe. I have the only key.
My children have NEVER had access to a single one, not even a .22, without being WITH ME. Even now, when they are 21 and 19.
So, summary: at 19 and 21, access to firearms without being under my immediate supervision is ZERO.

Appreciate you answering candidly. I understand you don’t find that particular rifle in the same bucket as an AR, but they are first cousins, at worst. 
 

When do you think your son will be old enough to pass it along, or put in his name? Scratch that, too personal. What age are you thinking if you could rewrite the laws tomorrow?  
 

I hope you understand I’m not picking. You participate in many of the same threads as I do, I’ve offered to purchase local ammo for you when your area was short.  I also have a daughter that completes 4th grade tomorrow.

We have lost our way as a society. We would all be better of getting away from social media and the entertainment industry. Get out in nature, meet people, learn to be kind to one another again. COVID didn't help locking us up, limiting our interaction to behind a computer screen and keyboard. I'm disappointed in some comments that appear to call for violence against Republicans. Something like this should be bringing us together, not tearing us apart. People making accusations that this is what Republicans want is an insane statement. I am a registered republican as his the majority of my family and friends and I know of no one that thinks that way. It's sick. The individual who carried out this attack was a animal and ultimately got what he deserved. I know you are pissed, I'm pissed. It sucks. I know a lot of people in here don't like me or my opinion but these are genuine thoughts, Neg me if you want, I'm sure some will but I genuinely care for all human life. We need to find a practical solution to thee problem. Blaming the other side doesn't give the country any traction on resolving the issue.

The reason so many are so angry right now is because the “practical solution” is very obvious and easily implemented if it weren’t for voters like you.   That simple.

Being a gun owner is part of their identify. It makes them feel good about themselves. They don’t need a gun for protection, or to stop tyranny. They want a gun because it makes them feel powerful. And that feeling is more important than your child’s life. This is all it boils down to. If you ask them enough, eventually they will admit it.

You voted for this. You do it over, and over, and over. You don’t get to run away from that. You ensure that we all are forced to live under a state government that has installed a state religion, Worship of the Almighty Gun.

It’s simple. If this is not what you want, stop casting votes for the people that do. If you voted for a single person up on the stage at the press conference earlier, you are the problem. 
 

the practical solution is what the majority of the developed world has figured out. 
 

The blame lies squarely with those that continue to take no action to fix any problem.

 

The “animal” got the same fate as 19 innocent ten year olds. If you cared for “all” human life as you say, you’d be as pissed as us. “Aw shucks, this sucks.”

I’m seeing the argument that guns shouldn’t be regulated because motivated people will still find ways to get guns. Would this not be a logical reason to not outlaw abortion? Yet, I think many people who state the former will deny the latter.

As a reminder, this is what Longhornlove posted in response to someone criticizing him in another thread recently:

Quote

Not surprised you feel this way honestly. This is what our world has become and it is driven from the MSM and the Democrat party. The left doesn't have foreign or domestic enemies, it has political enemies. If I disagree with you, I'm canceled, de-platformed, silenced, labeled a racist, Russian Agent, homophobe, transphobe and the list goes on. It is a form of totalitarianism and it is constantly applauded and cheered on. It is quite disturbing to me.

Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens. It is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression. It does not permit individual freedom.

This sensitive little tittybaby wants to be an edgy internet troll but can't handle the most basic criticism from anonymous people he doesn't even know in response. Now he's feeling a little guilty because deep down he knows the politics he's embraced to own the libs kills children. He knows child sacrifice is essential to modern Republican politics. They don't even hide it. After every shooting some asshole or another goes on Fox News and spouts off about how dead kids are just the price of freedom. But he thinks the real crime is people making him feel bad about that and he's the real victim. Not the 19 children and their teachers who were massacred yesterday by someone he and his pals aided and abetted. Him.

Security......what does that look like?  Arming teachers.....fuck no.  Are we covering public and private schools with this funding?  I say yes, these are our children damnit.  Trained, armed security I'm good with.  It doesn't have to be GI Joe at every door, hell you wouldn't even need to know the guy asking questions and buzzing people through locked doors was carrying.  Give the schools the protections they need.....capable doors, cameras, trained personnel vetting entry. 

There are over 130,000 K thru 12 school in this country. Good security personnel will run upwards of 100k per person. How many do you need per school?  The cost of training, arming, equipping, plus the usual government bloat... you're talking about hiring a literal army here.  Plus as we saw at Parkland and Uvalde, the armed personnel on scene aren't necessarily inclined to die for the kids so...

Still not seeing any right wingers explaining how they continue to vote for the guns over kids.  Poe stuck his head up, but never came back.  Y'all talk a big game, but action, not so much.  Prove that you want to make a change.  Failed policy is failed policy.  Just like the war on drugs, it never worked and never will work.  Yet we continue to spend billions of dollars on it and destroy families over failed policy...further destabilizing our country.  This is similar.  in 2022, guns are the leading cause of death of children.  What we are doing is NOT FUCKING WORKING.  Time to try something else.  But you right wing locos refuse to put into action your bullshit talk.  Praying this away will not work.  But guess what, you will vote for Cruz and Abbott again.  Fucking cowards.
