minus-squareibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoI keep seeing this nonsense being parroted as though these pigs are going to burst in while you’re ready and waiting. Surely they won’t come in and kill you while you’re asleep, right? No, that could never happen…
minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days agoHaving firearms for protection is so they’re within reach and ready…if you lock up your fire extinguisher then it’s pretty fucking useless if you have a fire.
minus-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days agoI get your point, but let’s be serious. That point is about being responsible. How often do fire extinguishers get kids killed?
minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days agoThe question is how often are they not used and kids die in fires? Same question is, how often are kids killed by the police?
minus-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days agoIdk but i don’t think fires are all that common, and we have plenty of other mechanisms to prevent fires from even happening. OTOH, guns being stored incorrectly is for sure far higher than any fire death you are trying to make equivalent. I am not strawmanning you here, but i am calling you out for being disingenuous. Like I said: I get your point, but let’s be serious. That point is about being responsible. Please don’t do backflips to justify irresponsible gun owners. That is disgusting.

minus-squareArcka@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoReally? You shouldn’t have to put in much effort to realize that not every adult has children or has family with children.
