    I question safe storage just because there are so many ways to make a gun useless because it is stored and not accessible when you need it.

        Ok but more children accidentally shoot themselves than there are home invasion self defense shootings.

          That is better mitigated by gun safety classes in school. As this doesn’t interfere with the right to defend yourself and simultaneously teaches gun safety/literacy to kids.

            The kids are often quite young, are you gonna have these classes in kindergarten?

              A basic gun safety class? Why not?

              I got one when I was a kid. At that age it’s ‘don’t touch the gun’.

              When you get older it’s how to touch a gun.

                As if “Don’t touch that” works, you think the parents of these kids didn’t do that?

                  I’ve literally seen children try to do something dangerous the second a parent looked away because they were told not to do something because it would really, really hurt them. Multiple times.
