I understand the statistics, but I’m skeptical of the idea that guns inherently make you and those around you less safe. I think discipline, peaceful conflict resolution skills and a healthy dose of reason mitigate the effects/risks of gun misuse.
It depends on who has it. I would feel safe having one, I’m in a state where I can legally own one and I feel safe enough to use it. My brother suffers from Depression and he has said before that he wouldn’t trust himself being in a house with a firearm, so I don’t own one currently, but when I move out I most likely will get one.
Statistically speaking, firearms tend to make you and those around you less safe. If you do get one, just make sure it’s safely locked away.
