That way when
they encounter a real (or looks real) at their friends

prevent their kids from encountering guns, it is going to
happen eventually.

You forgot drugs, STDs, pregnancy, speeding, drinking, pedophiles, etc, etc,
etc, ad nauseum. Yet, we tell our kids about these things and a lot of our
taxes go into programs so liberals can teach them about them, too.

Alas, then the kids fool with these things. Where did we go wrong? Who do
we blame? More importantly, who do we sue?

It's called free agency. In the wild, mortality rates of the young run way
above 50% in many species.

You just do your best.

And usually it's good enough and sometimes it's not. Amen, Steve!

Thanks for some good sense!

It might help if otherwise good parents weren't charged with
felony-whatever because their child died from some pure accident too.
There used to be a concept called: "punished enough by the loss of their
child."

US is getting ridiculous: Somebody dies, _somebody_ has to go to jail.
People do that, you know, die. Sometimes it's nobody's fault.
