I agree. I was simply comparing the way I viewed how I see a firearm. I view it no different in terms of a tool. - Redmond Feb 16, 15:13 9
- I would also say it's a lot harder to accidentally turn on a chainsaw than to accidentally fire a gun. - Reagen Feb 16, 15:14 8
  - Assuming the gun is just lying on a table, sure. But a good gun safe or trigger lock will make it much harder to operate than a chainsaw. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 16, 15:20
  - Well even that depends. If you have a gun lock, or it's in a safe. Matches are a tool, and those are pretty easy to do some major damage as a kid. - Redmond Feb 16, 15:17 6
    - Matches: they're safe for every child! -- nm - con_carne Feb 16, 15:20
    - sure they do. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 15:19 3
      - I don't see anyone posting, if you have children you should not have matches in th e house. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:23 2
        
        or drain cleaner. If you have children you shouldn't own a car because it might crash. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 15:24 1
        
        this is just hyperbole. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 15:24
    - I don't know that they don't. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 15:18
