You may have read about the guy who tried to launch a rocket from his head. I came across a post on a blog called Marooned that points out the real reason for this unnecessary death. He comments on how we are not teaching about responsibility and liberty. Here is one paragraph:
“Let that sink in a minute. His entire life, things have either been mandatory or banned. Lawn darts? Too dangerous. Banned. Three-wheeled ATVs? Too dangerous. Banned. Helmets for bicycles, skis, roller skates, etc.? Mandatory. Backup cameras in cars? Mandatory. When he was a toddler, his parents probably padded all the corners, blocked all the outlets, and put all the cleaning supplies in the top cabinet. As a young boy, he was forced to wear helmets, pads, seatbelts, bright colored clothes, etc.”
I recommend reading the entire piece and thinking seriously about what he says. Don’t be scared away because it is a gun blog. It might save your child and your country.
