... Once the gun is in your hand, the risk of anything occurring is on you. “The gun is, by most reasonable accounts, an inanimate object; it’s just an unmoving hunk of metal and plastic without will” (Dino). The danger lies in the person who uses the gun. Do you think parents should be responsible for the actions of their children having access to a gun? ... The chances of a child even thinking about obtaining a gun and using it on someone is from not being disciplined the correct way. ...
Michael Barnes, president of Handgun Control and the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence said:
“This study should open the eyes of every parent in America. ... Parents must also realize that, even if they don’t own a
gun, their children may be at risk when they visit other families’ homes, if
there is a gun.”
Parents have more control over their children and they can prevent the child from having access to a gun especially in their own home. The first thing a parent can do is to teach the child how harmful a gun can be and to stay away from it if they ever see one. Also, if the parents own a gun at home, how hard is it to lock it up, make sure it’s not armed, and keep it in a location where it’s out of reach?
