The safer handgun for home/self defense. The revolver or the pistol?

13. Did I say I was "fine with" anything? No. And I support your right to not own a gun, that's fine.

Just don't try to abridge my right to self defense, OK?

And oddly enough, it's those who think they do need a gun who somehow get involved in some sort of gun mishap. Like a two year old finds the gun, with tragic results. And so on.

Have those of you who think you might need a gun EVER looked at the statistics about how having a gun in the home leads to a huge increase in death by those guns? You just might want to.

"Having a gun leads to a huge increase..." is about as obvious as "being in a car leads to a huge increase in being hurt in a car accident"; it's obvious and absent further comment, useless.

You and I both want fewer mishaps and deaths.

I say we should require proof of having passed safety training in order to buy guns and ammo, UBCs, and sales of locks with each gun purchase, and more.

I also want far better mental health services provided to everyone, and I want an end to income equity, an end to increasing levels of hopelessness.

What do you propose to reduce the number of mishaps and deaths?
