    I’m not religious, but I nonetheless found this to be a brilliant representation of gun worshippers who think having a gun makes their family safer. I think @MarkHoofnagle would approve.https://twitter.com/designmom/status/1225052129238421505 …

    When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy. 1/

        SHe must be an urbanite. Wait until a 911 response is close to an hour away and then rethink.

        Even in that case, the data are very clear that a gun in the house is FAR more likely to result in a family member getting shot and killed with it than it is to be used successfully to defend against a home invasion. Many studies show this. It’s not even close.

        If you draw a Venn of gun owners vs 'Religious' there would be quite a big overlap.

        I was hoping she’d use vaccination in one of those examples.

        Yes, It’s always about some fantasy that they’re going to need to be John Wick, when the reality is they need to just be parents and listen to the experts.

        *and also having guns in the home is a huge risk factor for having an unintentional firearm injury at home if I have a gun at home, my kid is way more more likely to accidentally hurt themselves, than I am to stop an intruder
