one thing that doesnt make sence to me tho

Why do you guys spend all this money/energy on preparing for the world to go to shit
Why not spend that money/energy on raising the quality of the world.

We do. ZS is a charity organization and we have fund raisers as well as blood drives and canned food drives across America and in Canada. Many of the members are volunteers for the Red Cross and other organizations that dedicate themselves to helping after disaster strikes.

why make bomb shelters when there are Homeless

I don't know of anyone that has a bomb shelter but I donate a portion of my paycheck to a local battered women's shelter.

Why stock food when there are hungry people everywhere.

I store food for when an event occurs and I need food. This can be as simple as a winter storm cutting off power for days or a flood destroying the surrounding area. An earthquake could occur or simply having a number or tornados. The time to prepare is before an event. The site is dedicated to disaster preparedness and a large part of that is having the food and water necessary for survival. If one is uncomfortable carrying a large camo bag then there are many companies that sell the same basic needs equipment including the American Red Cross.

I WANT TO KILL ZOMBEHS, GIMMIE GUNS ASAP.

this is my favorite quote

"Lots of paranoid maniacs with 10 semi automatic rifles and hand grenades = bad in my book.

I have seen neither the paranoia nor the mania to which you are referring. Please give the basis for your diagnosis. If you know of anyone on the site owning hand grenades please enlighten us about that as well. The site is very clear about not allowing the discussion of illegal activities and will quickly ban individuals that post on such. "

when yuo have a site with people running around talking about what to do against zombies, and then you have someone with a whole goddamn station wagon filled with ammo for such an event, you have found yourself paranoia

I think the word you want is paranoid. It don't think it will affect you in any way but the individual in question spends a lot of time at the range and in the post mentioned that he went ahead and bought a year's worth of ammo. He did not buy ammo for zombies but for pieces of paper that are several yards away in front of a berm. Some people relax by shooting digital weapons at digital people, some do so by shooting real weapons at paper. To each his or her own.

Yes that a parent would bring a weapon into the house and not train everyone there is sickening. Here is link on the matter If a person owns a firearm they must be responsible, it really is that simple. I am much more comfortable with a person being around firearms everyday and taught their safe use than having loaded and unsecured firearms sitting where the children or their friends will find them.

From the website you posted:
"American Academy of Pediatrics has concluded that the most effective way to prevent firearm-related deaths and injuries to children and adolescents is to remove guns from their homes and communities. It makes no sense to keep a gun at home for "protection," if that same gun puts your family members or visitors at risk."

"Common Sense about Kids and Guns believes that all adults have a responsibility to assure that no child or teen in their home ever encounters a loaded or improperly secured firearm. The decision to have a firearm in your home comes with an enormous responsibility."

I do not see anything indicating you should be teaching young kids how to use/handle a gun (although i haven't looked at the whole website, so I may be wrong).

I don't have any problem with parents who want to take there kids hunting (although there is risk with this like every sport or activity). The thing with the picture of the girl holding the gun is its giving her the image of guns being cool. The problem with that is now she may be tempted to show her friends when her parents aren't around. Now hopefuly the guns are safetly locked away and unloaded but I still can see this possible leading to a terrible accident.

But seriously though. Its like fly paper for zombies. We lay it out in a large field somewhere and lure the zombies there with a big jar full of brains. When the zombies get stuck to the paper all we have to do is nuke the field or cage them and sell them off to zoos.

Well it would have been selfserving to use a site like the NRA.

They had pages on if you own a gun how to store it. This one. As they said in the part you quoted it is the responsibility of the parent to be responsible.

Actually it is not the children that are exposed the guns daily that hurt themselves as much as the neighbor or the child that is never around the guns. Children are given the image that guns are cool on television, movies, and those oh so cool video games. Having a responsible adult telling them about how to be safe can make anything uncool.

I only know that girls father from the forum but in my private conversations with him I believe he is a dedicated father and I know he takes great effort to teach his daughter gun safety, after all he is a ranger master and instructor.
