I dont know how much more we can take

Massad Ayoob is not a handgun demigod.  He is simply a human with an opinion, albeit a very experienced and some would say 'professional' opinion.  I do not always agree with the things he writes (often because he writes as if the laws in his state are universal laws and warns of things causing legal trouble that, under TN law for instance, might not.)  Also, as I previously stated, I do not have kids (and probably never will.)  All that said, I find the thoughts he presented in a now somewhat older article on children and guns to be interesting.  I will also admit that I would tend to grant more weight to his opinion, in this case, than to some others.

Massad Ayoob is a man who has something to sell.   He is worth listening to, but take it with a grain of salt.  He is, in part, in the business of making people afraid so they "need" to spend money on his books, programs, etc.   I agree, this is a good piece.
