[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gun lives at t the range. Woman here and don’t mind guns, they live at the range where they are used and handled properly. If he won’t do that, teach your kids gun safety and consider divorce. Then mandate and decide how hard to fight if he prioritizes the gun over his family. Husband has considered a gun bc I was attacked and I say no even with that. Parents have guns and fine w gone safety protocols including acceptable mental health protocols [/quote]

What range do you patronize that provides ongoing firearm storage service?[/quote]

Only a gun club would provide that service.  But you are paying a lot more than the gun he bought to be a member.

Owning a gun safely is not that hard - there are things called safes you bolt into your floor, wall or both that are nearly impossible to break into…and the people that could break into it aren’t wasting their time for a $600 Glock.
[b]No kid is getting, that is for sure.[/b][/quote]
And yet, thousands (tens?!) of children do in fact get in there each year. You are wrong for claiming 100% success when there are so so so many gun deaths per years. [/quote]

Sigh. NP. The kids who get ahold of guns aren't going through multiple safes, fingerprint triggers, etc. They're accessing guns that are carelessly stored. That was PP's point. [/quote]

Agreed. Some of these people aren't thinking logically, and this thread has become a bit of a joke. [/quote]
So how are thousands of kids killed every year from guns if everyone is super duper responsible? Clearly there’s a disconnect that you refuse to acknowledge. [/quote]

There aren't thousands killed. That's ridiculous and you lose all credibility when you exaggerate things like that to that excess.

20,000 per year on average kill themselves with a firearm. Suicide is not "gun violence" by any means. So those are dismissed.

10,000 per year are killed by someone with a firearm, with around 9000 of those are inner city gang members or criminals that are shot either by citizens or police.

Suicide can't be dismissed. It's probably the best reason not to bring a gun into a house with a child, who is going to become a teenager, who may quickly develop mental illness and try to kill themselves. If you look at the rates of suicide by state, they mostly differ because of access to firearms. [/quote]

Most all suicides by firearm are males over 25. Very few minors commit suicide that way.  [/quote]
False
“The firearm suicide rate among young people has increased faster than among any other age group.”
Firearm suicides are the #4 leading cause of death in children[/quote]

Statistical anecdotes don't impress people with logic. If it was 1 kid, then next year it was 4, that's a 400% increase! OMG panic!

Statistics don't lie, politicians lie about the statistics. [/quote]

Very stupid (and deceptive) example , when 49,000 people die from suicide each year in the United States.

It is the 2nd leading cause of death for those aged 10-34.

Easy access to lethal means is a major factor in that REALITY. [/quote]
