The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Most Children Shot at Home, Not on Streets

I have no doubt that most kids shot are shot as a result of their parents behavior patterns. Or in other words, their parents are involved in some type of illegal activity and have unregistered firearms around to protect themselves from other parents involved in the same type of activities. This type of individual is more likely to leave a loaded handgun lying around or in their sock drawer where the kids can find it.

The rest of us should not be held responsible for the actions of inner city dirtbags. I feel for the kids who have no choice who their parents are. Maybe we need to license parents, have them go through background checks before conceiving. After all, one wrong "Shot" can lead to a life of misery and deprivation (for the kids).

The problem with the human race is that stupid people breed more often.
