    Again....there are a LOT of factors that determine that answer. Simply having the gun is no more a determination of being at a higher chance of dying, than owning a car gives you a higher chance for a car accident.

    That's what you're not GETTING here. And I have a feeling that it's because you don't like the answer that actual gun owners are giving you.

    That's fine if you don't like guns. But you need to accept the answer from those of us who actually own them.

    Aw come on! The in general thing really screws up the issue. It really really depends on where you got the 3 year old living.

    I don't want to ban guns, I think every criminal should be allowed to have a fully automatic uzi.

    I mean as long as we are asking these questions id like ti differentiate dead shot 3 years olds between law abiding gun owning households and some high jackass that stole one gun household. The former i think has a great shot at life. The later will probably kill themselves just to get away from their shit parents.

    So you are saying that owning a car doesn't make you more likely to get in a car accident?

    I saw a picture of a car that crashed into a swimming pool once.

    Statistically, someone is probably breaking into the house to get the pain killer pills, not the wife and daughter.

    Simply owning the car, no, it does not.

    Now, do you race with the car? Do you speed illegally? Do you disobey traffic laws and signals? Do you abuse the purpose of a car in a manner for which it was not designed?

    Those are the questions that determine if you are more likely to be in a car accident.

    Been driving since I was 16. I've been in exactly one accident; just me involved, because I sped into a corner on a freeway onramp.

    Simply having my car didn't determine that I would get into an accident. Speeding and not obeying traffic laws was what determined my spin-out.

    With that logic we should ban stores. So future theives couldnt steal from them.

    If you keep the car locked in your car safe, it's completely harmless. Always store the gasoline separately from the car.

    Umm, no. We should give everyone a gun so they CAN steal from them.

    Let's give bigfoot a gun while we're at it. I don't wanna see his carcass strung up somewhere.

    He deserves only to be seen through 240P cameras from the 1990s.

    If bigfoot really exists someone would have run over one by now.
