Peaches, while I agree that there are more dangerous things in a household than guns, most of those other items in the household serve some other purpose than to put holes in people.
Stoves are dangerous (hot), paint is dangerous (chemical), and on and on... but each one of those has a valid purpose for being in your home. A gun has little or no purpose day to day in your home, except for protection from other people with guns because everyone has one.
Beyond that, most "gun enthusiasts" have more than one gun, which is even more useless and dangerous.
As for the protection theory, aren't you suppose to store the gun and the bullets seperate? Doesn't that make it sort of useless for protection (someone breask in, you ask them to wait while you go downstairs to put the bullets in your gun?)
Sorry, the kids got what the parent SHOULD have got... and I hope that parent suffers greatly emotionally and legally for having a firearm in the house.
