By Leftist Writer Michael Ward
Americans own nearly 400 million guns. Five of them were recently
lying on my parents� living room floor in Dallas. Two revolvers looked
like props from a �70s cop movie. A pistol with a perforated barrel
looked like it was from a space opera. There was a Field &
Stream-worthy shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle right out of a mass shooting.
This collection of firearms will likely be my responsibility when my
father is gone. I might not like it, but I may not have a choice. Last September, he drafted a gun trust and named me as trustee.
[Poor Mike describes why he is so fearful]
When I was in seventh grade, a classmate of mine took his life with a shotgun. Weeks before I graduated high school, two young men rampaged
through Columbine High School, killing 13 people. These tragedies
haven�t stopped. Suicide rates of American kids between the ages of 10
and 14 have soared 80 percent since 2001.Half of the time, it�s with a
gun. The frequency of school shootings has quadrupled since the 1970s.
[Naturally, owning his Dad's guns will result in either his messy
shotgun suicide or a school being shot up at his hands. After all,
nobody is immune from Evil Gun Rays!]
Glaring at the Smith & Wesson M&P 15�one of the most popular semi-auto rifles�I don�t know how to do even the simplest things, like verify
it�s unloaded or check the safety. Couple that with a danger affecting similar models where it�s possible to experience �multiple discharges
without [pulling] the trigger.� If I were to handle this weapon, it�s possible nothing would happen. Or, I could become one of the 27,000
Americans accidentally injured by a firearm each year.
[Clearly his dad should have picked another daughter to inherit his firearms.]
What a wimp. The solution is simple. Remove this party completely from
the trust, problem solved.
