Look man, I often see the "fire extinguisher" talking point from people trying to excuse not securing their guns, and its almost always a libertarian type person. I have stuck to my point that fire arms need to be stored correctly. I am not sure why you are so aggressive about defending those who do not. Children or not we have way to lax a culture around gun safety.
And to go back to the fire extinguisher point a bit. It is meaningless. We don't prevent fires with them. By the time we need a fire extinguisher so many other things have gone wrong.
Even more strawman arguments. Read back through the comments - I never said anything about fire extinguishers, and am not defending anyone who is lax on safety.
Most enthusiasts are very serious about safety but know that the implementation details are situational.
Accidents are also very rare. If we want to try to reduce the small percentage who don't take safety seriously, we should start early and make a safety course part of everyone's schooling.
Maybe you should go back and read my point. I'm saying people are too lax on safety and we should make excuses for them. If you want to add something to that then do so. Otherwise you're talking past me and not making a point.
