If they only save one child, they are worth having.

We should get grubbermitt handouts of firearms and a monthly stipend of ammunition for said firearms.

Operation KACS (keep a child safe)

After all, it is only for the children!

I mean, I get the point, but think it'd be interesting to see if there's any statistics on how many times a firearm is used to protect a child versus how many die from them.

Keeping a child safe, in my opinion, should also very very much include proper storage and discipline for instance on the part of the adult.

What if they only kill one child? Still worth having?

incorrect. If a child happens to steal a gun from a legal gun owning adult, then they are thieves and get what’s coming to them. Dont try and blame the victim of theft.

I mean, how many cases are there where the 3 year old "steals" the gun from the "truck" and then kills themselves?

Bring back firearms safety classes in elementary school, and get shooting sports into extracurricular activities and dare I even say the moat important part if any of that..... education and knowledge can deter negligence and harm. Proper training and recreational use on a controlled range would alleviate most if not all the improper use, I believe even in major cities
