Indeed. Wanna make your home safer? Pass on a gun, install a shower rail, and be nicer to your dog.
I think it's absurd for people who would openly fantasize about murder to then go on to insinuate their gun isn't dangerous. Well why do you fuckin have it, then? Are you or are you not stone cold killer who would take a life over a flatscreen, and does your gun, or does it not, help you do that?

I once tripped over a Dachshund and broke my ankle. They're more dangerous than they look.

I think I actually read something about how more people trip over their dogs than get bit. Same is true of guns, interestingly enough. OFC, I'm treating suicides as incidental here. What happens when you don't take a pill or go the the gym or get laid.

I'm tempted to put one of these on my garage door. I have enough petroleum distillates, alcohol and wood finishing products to level a city block, were it properly mixed, which is a big "if". The big danger is the oxyacetylene welding rig, but I even have some magnesium.

I choose not to own a gun, even if such could be shown to make me safer. If my environment ever became unsafe, it would be time to move!

A city block, you say?
Hmmmmm...

It’s hard to think of anything that is (ostensibly, at least) intended for self defense that ISN’T dangerous - a gun, pepper spray, a crotch-chomping Rottweiler…anything. Whatcha gonna do…defend your home with marshmallows and candy floss?
Our home is defended by us. I fancy myself as moderately dangerous, and I have no illusions about the missus - she’s scary dangerous.
