    Calm down there, Patrick Henry.

    The executive order I see is about the department of education promoting the importance of safe storage. The reason for this is because the leading cause of death among children and teens in the USA is firearms. Educating people that leaving guns laying around unsecured is dangerous is not violating anybody’s rights. Hopefully it will save some innocent lives. Seems pretty common sense to me. Secure your fuckin firearms so the kids don’t get aholt of em.

      Or train your kids. I’ve always had loaded firearms In my home. They’re not much use if they’re unloaded and locked away. I trained my kid on property usage and she knows how to use every firearm in the home. If you look at the stats, they’re heavily skewed to certain areas. If you live in a war zone, you’re likely to have children shot. It’s why we need more law enforcement cracking down in those areas.
