Of course, the value of supervision and instruction can not be overemphasized, and I am aware of the monthly reports of guns that save lives, but I wonder if there is a group of studies that I can reference when making a claim that guns make a child's home safer.
With no doubt, the safety of [i]my[/i] home is increased due to the presence of firearms, but I wonder if this is true nationally.
Please don't start in with the "screwdriverless" or "ovenless" home challenges to my question. I do suspect that homes with loose buttons have a marginally lower rates of choking, and that homes without electricity reduce the potential for electrocution, but this is not my point, so please don't take this approach.
I am a scientist at heart, and would like some evidence.
