[quote=Anonymous]You know what's un-savvy? Keeping a handgun in your home which your angst'y teenage kid, or your yourself, uses to commit suicide.

[quote][i]White men aren’t just the Americans most likely to own guns; according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they’re also the people most likely to put them in their own mouths and pull the trigger, especially when they’re in some kind of economic distress. A white man is three times more likely to shoot himself than a black man—while the chances that a white man will be killed by a black man are extremely slight.[/i][/quote]

[quote][i]For every homicide deemed justified by the police, guns are used in 78 suicides. As a new study published this month in JAMA Internal Medicine once again shows us, restrictive gun laws don’t prevent white men from defending themselves and their families. Instead, those laws stop them from shooting themselves and each other.[/i][/quote]

You are quite literally killing yourselves and your families by just keeping a gun in the house. Of course, you always say "that will never happen my family - we are well trained and mentally sound." Until you aren't.[/quote]
