These "incidents" have happened 259 times so far in 2021.

There are 4.6 million children in homes with unsecured guns.

A gun in the home is 5 times more likely to harm a family member than an intruder.

If you have a gun in your home for God's sake lock the damn thing up.

Curious.

Odds are there are many.

The gun owner never makes such headlines.

another similar incident the other night. I have a feeling most gun owners aren't responsible. That is, they don't keep their guns locked up when not in use.

I despise guns, but my dad had guns, and he just kept them hanging on the wall and under his bed. My wife's dad kept a loaded shotgun leaning against a wall in his closet. A friend's dad, a true nut ball, literally has a gun within 4 ft from wherever you are in his house. Another friend just out of high school was playing with a gun in his parent's bedroom when it went off. Luckily, no one was injured. But he put a hole through the wall.

I know these are just anecdotal, and I grew up and live in the south, but good gravy! I honestly don't know anyone who keeps their guns locked up.
