@samharrisorg A car in a garage is as safe as a gun in a lockbox. Car gets out of the garage a lot more than the gun out of the lockbox. -
@vroum_ninou But the danger of a gun is the access to it -- for suicide, crimes of passion, children finding it, etc. 24 hours a day. -
@samharrisorg OK but you highlighted few ACCIDENTS with guns compared to cars. There would be a lot more if used 1h30 min per day like cars. -
@vroum_ninou No, I was comparing the fatalities on both sides. Cars are so dangerous that we can't help killing each other with them. - 6 more replies

@SamHarrisOrg If gun violence is a matter of access, what explains low death rates in countries w/ strong gun cultures like Switzerland? -

@Atticus_Amber@EstiviG@SamHarrisOrg suicide still really high. They have little endemic poverty there. Also ammo is housed by government -
@davidowen_sd@Atticus_Amber@SamHarrisOrg I said countries "like" Switzerland. Could also apply to Sweden. Top 10 gun ownership, low deaths -
@EstiviG@Atticus_Amber be specific. suicide rates of Sweden still really high. Denmark has high gun homicide rate. etc. -
@davidowen_sd@Atticus_Amber Again, context is murder. Correlation guns/suicide? Saudi ranked 6th ownership. Last in suicides (170) by WHO. -
@EstiviG@Atticus_Amber Google WHO means reduction -
@davidowen_sd@Atticus_Amber Google "intransigent ideologue"

@SamHarrisOrg@vroum_ninou There is more to gun deaths than mere propinquity. Sweden has low homicide rate, but high gun ownershipThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
