You could be the Saint of Safety, and it doesn't change the numbers. The one thing I never forget is should I need to kill myself quickly and easily, it's ten feet away. That's why the numbers are what they are. Guns are very easy, and lethal.That's what the others with dead spouses and kids said. Carry on. As long as it's mostly you kind dying I can't be bothered.Most likely, but if someone gets shot with one it's probably going to be you or one you love. Ideology doesn't change that.Now you are wrong. My guns will most likely kill no one at all. And I sleep quite well, thanks.
Ideology is not involved at all. But there are hazards that can be negated, as I have said. I have shown how the hazards to me and mine have been negated. Now as long as no one breaks in and threatens us, we will stay within the 99.9% of gun owners who have no gun deaths at all.
Obviously not. If they had followed basic safety rules the kids would not have died. If they would not stay in a house with any domestic violence, then those killings would not have happened. If they had stored their guns safely, they would not have had them taken and used by someone who shouldn't.
Simply because there are a lot of idiots in the world does not mean I am one.
Indeed! But a portion of those deaths that sway the numbers are accidental deaths. Another, more significant portion, is domestic violence. If neither of those is present, only the right people have access to the guns, and no one is suicidal, then the numbers change in this particular case. Using national numbers and demanding that they fit every single instance is pure folly.
