You're definition of a few needs updating. And its an L take to defend the irresponsible. Again I cancoundt the responsible ones I know with one hand. I am being reasonable in my judgements here.
Everyone I know that says "I need my guns at easy access" is a libertarian trying to justify leaving their loaded guns lying around anywhere.
Your position is incredibly ridiculous. One thing is self defense. Another isjustify mediocrity. Please take some self inventory about what you're saying.
Again, more kids die from drownings in pools than accidentally shooting themselves. And its a order of magnitude more yearly.

In a 10 year period 279 and that's between ages 1 and 14.
Pool drownings, on average every year...358 children drowned...

Everyone I know who doesn't understand statistics makes wild shit up to support their nanny state bullshit.
Says the person who is wanting to put in place draconian laws that will do way more harm than good.
Why don't you stick to fixing the pool problem first if protecting the children is the ultimate goal. After all 358 die annually to drowning in pools vs around 27 a year to firearms....or is that because firearms don't have a purpose and need to be curtailed?
See you are being disingenuous and bad faith here. As if kids are the only drowning.
Quote them pls.
Do road ragers who brandish guns deserve them too? You are defending them as well. I've been threaten with fire arms over parking spaces. You really trying to tell me irresponsible gun owners are a minor inconvenient?
Crazy. The way I see it you are the one not understanding stats in their broader context to justify mediocrity and bad behavior. And in the above thread I've pointed out why I think you are a bad faith libertarian.
Also from your own link:
Which is what I've been saying. I rest my case. Please be mature about the issues.
