Here's another example of how guns make people safer --- Not.

North Carolina three-year-old who accidentally shot herself on Christmas Day has died
In 2020 in the US, more than 5,100 children younger than 18 were killed or injured in gun incidents, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
People buy guns to make themselves feel safer. even though the vast majority who buy a gun are much more likely to harm themselves than ever even sniff a time when self defense with a gun is the answer. Meanwhile everybody around them becomes less safe. Acting upon an irrational fear and putting everybody else at risk is cowardice.
Have a happy new year, gunfighter nation.

Why are yall blaming guns for careless owners? There are literally thousands of deadly products/chemicals that we interact with daily, but they are properly handled so we dont see accidents on a large scale. I'm curious to know what your plan is, if you're approached by someone with a gun that is intent on harming you?

Here is some data about how often children are poisoned, I would assume because of irresponsible parents.
"That's about: 6.4 poison exposures/1000 population, 37.4 poison exposures in children younger than 6 years/1000 children, 1 poison exposure reported to U.S. poison control centers every 15 seconds"

man, a 3 year old kids just died for a stuPid ass fucking reason, and all you can think of is "DON'T INFRINGE MY RIGHTS!!!!!"....just get the fuck out of here with that shit till they at least bury the poor little thing.
the gun laws in this country are fucked, and little dick assholes just keep trying to fuck them even more, so they can have bigger and bigger penis substitutes...it's ok if more than 5000 kids a year are injured and/or die, as long as i can have my ghost gun with a thousand round mag and a bump stock...

What kinds of precautions do you follow when you store your gun?
I'm not "blaming" gun owners, I'm pointing out that they don't make the owner or the people around them safer, the opposite is true.
Regarding your question, I've never encountered that scenario. It's very rare. One of the other points I'm making is: the fear you just expressed is irrational. For almost all gun owners, a situation like the one you describe never happens. What does happen a lot when people own guns are accidents, suicide, menacing, mayhem and murder. Acting out of irrational fear and raising the risk to everybody else is cowardice.

Yes, and cars kill a lot more people than guns do. I've heard this line of rhetorical fallacy from gun nuts before. Yes, it's true that people die in car accidents or accidental poisoning. That does not have anything to do with guns.
I'm not even advocating an action. I'm just here to say that guns don't make people safer, which contradicts the reason most people nowadays buy a gun. So, yeah, in a nutshell, I'm calling the "self defense" argument stupid.

North Carolina 3-year-old accidentally shot on Christmas Day dies from injuries
A 3-year-old girl who accidentally shot herself in the head on Christmas Day has died.
"She picked up a pistol and shot herself in the head by accident. We didn't know. She's got a head wound," her father, Tim Gordon, said in the 911 call.
Gordon told the dispatcher they had a friend visiting for Christmas, and that person left a gun in the car. Gordon explained that the family was outside watching Aylee ride her new bike, when she fell over. When Gordon's wife went inside to get her a change of clothes, Aylee climbed in the truck, picked up the gun and it went off.
Though he made the call as soon as possible, he said he couldn't get the call immediately due to poor service in the countryside.
While on the phone with 911, Gordon told the dispatcher he saw fire trucks responding to his call and pulled over so they could start emergency procedures. Aylee was taken to the hospital.
The Henderson County Sheriff said the gun the toddler fired was not a Henderson County service weapon.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 58 gun violence incidents in North Carolina this year involving children--22 children have died and 64 have been injured.

Is this thread about the tragedy of a child dying, or guns? I hate to see any innocent loss of life. Little dicked assholes?

So because you've never encountered it, you assume it's rare. There were over 33k robberies at gunpoint in 2020. My girlfriends daughter in law was robbed at gunpoint 3 weeks ago. "It's rare" doesn't cut it.
Menacing, mayhem, and murder have been going on for centuries. Let me know when you figure out a solution to that. How many people around the world are murdered every day, with a weapon that isn't a gun. Why even mention suicide? One of my best friends growing up jumped in front of a semi to commit suicide. He was gonna do it one way or another. That's a mental health issue, not a gun issue.
Me, owning a gun when I grow weed
But *if* I did own a gun, it would be locked in a gun cabinet, unloaded, with a trigger lock, while I wasn't home. And you own 5 guns, that's rich. Your dick must be microscopic

Rhetorical fallacy, how so? I'm showing that irresponsibility involving products that are inherently dangerous, has tragic consequences. Call it a purple elephant if you want, doesn't mean it isn't true.
