I've never figured out why other people's statistics have any bearing on me. Like, just presume for a minute, I keep all my guns in a good gun safe and don't keep any ammo in the house. I am very unlikely to be shot with my own gun.
So it seems to me the danger is entirely on how you handle the gun and who is around in your house. Seems like a personal issue.
Owning a gun increases your chances of being shot by roughly infinity percent because you can’t be shot with something that doesn’t exist. Having a pool similarly increases your odds of drowning in your backyard. This isn’t a good reason not to own a pool.
I think you mean owning a gun increases your chance of getting shot by your own gun. Sure. I think the grabbers argue that it increases your chance of getting shot, period. But anyways, looking at yourself as a statistic is the wrong way to go about it; I agree. We keep many things that can be dangerous. You know, rat poison, draino... We keep them responsibly.
