    Now you are being silly and pedantic.

    The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home.

    The answer to that is because that is where they live. Are you not in your home most of the time? If you some how are not you are a statistical outlier and not relevant to the conversation.

    To be clear, that is the kind of disgusting justifications for poor gun ownership and disingenuous takes i was calling out earlier in the thread.

      Why are you assuming that a kid has access to a firearm if it’s locked behind a door?

      I mean I know what you’re going for here, kids find parents gun and shoot someone or shoot themselves. That’s just being a shit parent. Kinda like the kid getting your keys and crashing your car. Or finding the matches and burning down the house. There is a level of personal responsibility that is required to have kids and be an adult. There is also a level of “stupid people are going to do stupid shit” that we must accept for the personal freedom we are granted. Let’s not suggest that we should curtail our freedoms because stupid people exist. We can’t play nanny to everyone.

        Classic libertarian move to be disingenuous and walk away with the wrong point to justify bad behavior. Come back when you are mature and ready to leave the bad faith takes behind.
