A modest proposal

The Philly area gives us yet another incident of a small child "accidentally" finding his parents' gun and taking it to school, possibly for show & tell. Fortunately the gun was not loaded and no one was hurt.

Surely even those zealots who insist, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution gives an unfettered right to bear arms outside of a militia structure must agree that there are no restrictions on legislation that would mandate that these deadly weapons useful tools must be kept safely stored and out of the hands of minors. So let us do just that and whilst we are at it let's make it a felony with real jail time as a consequence. And since convicted felons give up their rights (like voting) let's make sure that these folks are not ever again able to purchase, possess or use firearms.
