    The number of stories I’ve heard when living in the midwest of a complete disrespect towards gun safety…

    For those of you in the midwest or south, I’m curious: do you also know of someone with a bathtub full of guns? Or was it just the lunatic grandpas of the friends I had?

    Of course, this mother doesn’t have a bathtub full of guns, but a gun near children that’s not in a safe is a gun that child can use to shoot someone.
