I think it's dangerous to assume your experience with firearms is necessarily representative.

Maybe I'm biased, I grew up in a rural community and I didn't know anybody who didn't have guns. I hate to extrapolate my anecdotal evidence but I'm going to: I think there are many communities like that, and they have few if any problems with guns.

Ultimately, the most reliable way of preventing accidents with firearms involving children is to keep them out of the hands of children.

We don't disagree on the end, but rather the means.
