What's new

yet another stupid death in children gun related accident...yes, in USA of course.

Nice strawman. I would say it isn't worth a response, but I'll humor you.

1) wife's sister doesn't have kids
2) wife knows the rules about guns. She or I would move it before they get there.
3) kids can't unlock a safe.

I could retort with a "what would you do if someone broke in and was going to rape your family and all you had was a little stick" question, but that would be a stupid retort, and I try to avoid those.

In the future, avoid strawmen type questions. They don't work.

Ah, you left out the fact about it being in a safe. " I keep a gun under my bed" seems moronic. I'm glad you aren't that moronic. Sorry I don't know the details of your family. I assumed you could draw some parallels between the reality of your family dynamics and things that are definitely possible in any given day.

Children showing up at your house is a bit more common than mad rapists breaking in and raping entire families.

But to humor you .... I would let him rape me first, I would then clench my butt cheeks thus trapping him. I would then roll over and slam the back of my head into his face repeatedly knocking him unconscious. I would then beat him to death with said small stick. Then I would call the cops to come get the body off of my property.

I do keep a gun under my bed. In the highly unlikely case somebody breaks in, I'm not going to have time to get to and open a safe. I like to be prepared, for anything.
 
A recent study of all counties in the United States has again
demonstrated the lack of relationship between the prevalence
of firearms and homicide.130
This inverse correlation is one of several that seems to
contradict more guns equal more death. For decades the
gun lobby has emphasized that, in general, the American
jurisdictions where guns are most restricted have consis‐
tently had the highest violent crime rates, and those with
the fewest restrictions have the lowest violent crime rates.131
For instance, robbery is highest in jurisdictions which are
most restrictive of gun ownership.132As to one specific con‐
trol, the ban on carrying concealed weapons for protection,
“violent‐crime rates were highest in states [that flatly ban
carrying concealed weapons], next highest in those that al‐
lowed local authorities discretion [to deny] permits, and
lowest in states with nondiscretionary” concealed weapons
laws under which police are legally required to license
every qualified applicant.133 Also of interest are the exten‐
sive opinion surveys of incarcerated felons, both juvenile
and adult, in which large percentages of the felons replied
that they often feared potential victims might be armed and
aborted violent crimes because of that fear.134 The felons
most frightened about confronting an armed victim were
those “from states with the greatest relative number of pri‐
vately owned firearms.”135

A Harvard peer reviewed study. No biggie.

Ever had someone show up at your house without telling you they coming first?

Damn that is hard to read on my phone.

Crummy format. Made me want to shoot myself just trying to read it. Luckily I have a gun

Dutch Jazzer.... Is that you?
 
Hypothetical here: You are at work. Your wife's sister comes over with their kids. Kids are dumb and stupid so they are playing around where they shouldn't be. They find a gun ... they find a clip ..... Now what?

Wife's sister should be sued or incarcerated for allowing her dumb little blokes to sneak into your guns. Back in the good old days they threw the shotgun over the front door and kept a rifle by the bed. We should be allowed to keep a loaded pistol within reach for when intruders come.
