[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure you discuss bringing home bleach, toilet bowl cleaner, gasoline for the mower, sewing needles, matches for the grill too. [/quote]

This is both so tired and so dumb.

Bleach, intended purpose killing bacteria and cleaning clothes
Toilet bowl cleaner, intended purpose cleaning toilet
Gas, intended purpose running the mower 
Needles, intended purpose sewing
Matches, intended purpose lighting fires for cooking and warmth (candles, getting high, whatnot)

Guns, intended purpose, blowing shit (including people) up

Life is not black and white. All risk is not the same. [/quote]

And yet...

If you don't lock up your bleach and your kid drinks it or splashes it in their eyes? Catastrophe. Toilet bowl cleaner? Same. Gas? Same. Needles? OMFG, have you ever stepped on one of these? Or sewn through a nail? I've done both, and heard directly from mothers whose kids (yes, more than one) have literally sewn their own hands "trying to sew like mommy" on the sewing machine mom left unattended however briefly. And if you think kids don't play with matches, you're an idiot.

Everything has a risk, and most things have ways to mitigate that risk. A gun in a safe is a lot safer than toilet bowl cleaner stashed behind the toilet in a house with an unattended kid. I'm former EMS. Ask me how I know...
