OT: Americans love their guns

    Al> Impossible.  The son had been taught safe gun handling on the pistol

    Al> that firearm had not been safely stored.

This sort of thing still happens (it hits the news whenever such a shooting
occurs), so clearly all seven-year-olds who live in houses with guns are not
being trained to handle and respect firearms.
