I told him to lock it up and discuss with our kids that they are not to touch it. He’s not irresponsible and I know wont leave it laying around.

Clearly he’s keeping it and he’ll do it safely, but I don’t like it. He is a hobby shooter and I know he enjoys it, I’ve just never seen a gun close up in person before.

Why don’t you suggest he keep it at the shooting range where he actually practices and uses it? If he’s so irresponsible to bring this home without discussing it I doubt he’s actually responsible enough to keep it safe - forever - and away from your kids. He sounds impulsive and selfish. Two great traits of men who kill their spouse in fits of rage.

You sound unhinged, as well. It's not "so irresponsible" for a hobby shooter to bring home a gun, and a gun safe without getting a permission slip from his mommy/wife/manager first. You sound ridiculously controlling, and outright paranoid. I hope you get the help you need to unclench.

Yes I’m sure anyone you disagree with is “unhinged”. You sound like an irresponsible gun owner and negligent father and husband.

I'm a mother of two and former military and I don't currently own a gun, but go off half-cocked, I guess?

Mothers who don’t care about their children’s safety are rare, but not unheard of. Glad your gun brings you more joy than your kids.

Your lack of reading comprehension is alarming.

Not discussing it with you is a major red flag. What was he hiding. He may be planning to eliminate you.
You should be concerned about your safety. Keep your eyes open.

Oh for the love...

It's not like he snuck it in. He goes shooting. She knows this. It's kinda hard to have shooting as a hobby without a gun. This is a reasonable, hobby-linked purchase that he disclosed.

You sound unhinged.

If it’s a hobby purchase, why can’t he keep it where he practices his hobby?

So I should keep my knitting needles at the yarn store, just like you keep your tennis racket at the court? Stupid argument, pp.

Presumably you knit at home, not the same. A tennis racket is in no way the equivalent of a gun. Do NRANUTS only have straw man arguments about this? You know they are deadly, you just love them more than your spouse or children apparently.

And your denial of facts is as well.

"If it’s a hobby purchase, why can’t he keep it where he practices his hobby?" That's the sort of nonsense I bothered responding to.

You're too stupid to make a better argument to begin with, so I'll let you indulge in whatever "NRANUT" fantasy you want to have about me.

Weirdo.

You don't understand why someone wants to discuss a significant and dangerous purchase BEFORE he brings it home?

I know all you gunphobic types are gonna find this hard to believe, but guns are inanimate objects. They don't get up and walk around, shooting people. The gun, in and of itself, isn't dangerous. How it's treated, how it's stored, how the kids are trained to address it... these things create (or negate) the potential harm.

The gun is inert until acted upon.

Yup, like by toddlers shooting other toddlers or themselves.

Like toddlers stab themselves? Or electrocute themselves?

The objects are fine. The lack of parental supervision is the problem. I'm sure you live in a house without knives or electricity though, right? Just in case?

So why can’t he? It means he doesn’t have to transport it, kids won’t be around it, seems like a great option. Your straw man doesn’t actually explain why it’s not feasible.

Tennis rackets don’t kill thousands of kids per year. Try using real argument.

With an idiot? Hard pass. PPs upthread have already explained the logistics of why storing the gun offsite isn't a great option. What more needs to be said?

It’s fine, I know gun lovers don’t actually like facts about how dangerous they are. Keep your head in the sand.

Stupidity kills more people than guns. Good luck in the world, PP!

Me: "I don't currently own a gun"
You: (accuses me of not caring about my kids while prioritizing the gun I literally do not own)

Babe, log off. Take a walk. Breathe. You're crashing out, and it's embarrassing.

If you don’t own a gun why are so fervently against people who want to keep them out of our homes? Bizarre flex “babe”.

I'm against idiocy, wherever I find it. This thread is full.

Also when 40,000 people die from knitting needles in a year, then maybe that would be a reasonable point.

Are toddlers electrocuting OTHER toddlers? If so, I’d think there is a serious problem. Luckily (?) it seems like they’re just shooting each other 🙄

Hope your fun protects against that, but I’m assuming not.

These people can’t make a reasonable argument to save their life. The NRA education system is failing us all 😂

You are 100% in the right. No household should have a gun when there are kids in the house. Guns should only be in the hand of police/military.

I'm sorry... Is there some sort of epidemic of toddler-on-toddler gun violence? You're a mess, and your "argument" is garbage. Log off, reset your head, and maybe don't bother trying again, just suck less somewhere else.
