These terrible and terrifying incidents involving guns recently are causing misery all over this country. Where do these shooters get their weapons? If they haven’t bought them, could it be that they have stolen them?

My husband very prudently locks up his hunting rifles in his gun cabinet, safe from those who might want to steal them. We are not the only ones who wish to be careful about this. Here is what one of the media (The Week, Oct. 2) has to say:

“…in the U.S., gun-rights advocates vehemently oppose even the common-sense requirement that gun owners store their weapons with trigger locks or in locked containers.”
