Gun control fanatics don’t care about saving lives. Gun control fanatics simply use dead victims, especially dead children, as emotional black mail to stampede uninformed people into giving the fanatics more power to ban guns.
Here we have gun stores actually helping to save more lives….
While anti-gun Democrats are busy pushing "red flag" laws and gun-controlling academics are blaming open carry lawsfor gun-involved sucides, the 2A community is taking a different approach to saving lives: giving gun owners a place to safely and temporarily store their firearms when they or a family member is in crisis.
—————
What happens is they come in, we fill out a simple contract, basically, saying this is who you are, this is what you're going to store with us, and we're going to contact you in 90 days if we haven't heard from you by then to see where you're at. If we need to extend it out another 90 days we can do that."
Lovelace says if the gun owner still isn't ready to bring their firearms home after 180 days, he'll work with them on long-term solutions, including selling the guns... but only if that's what the owner wants. And the gun owner can pick up their stored firearms from the store at any time. Once again, it's their decision to make; not the gun shop, the county sheriff, or the ATF.
———-
Suicide isn't a gun issue, and it won't be addressed through gun control laws. I don't think Lovelace or Albrecht would say that allowing gun owners to temporarily store their firearms with FFLs is going to completely solve the problem either, but it's at least an approach that meets gun owners on their terms, instead of demonizing them or their Second Amendment rights.
