Ahhh....so you have no real counterpoint, you just wanted to chime in with no real point to me.
My counterpoint is that stats are so easily scewed.
And yet you present no evidence.... just a belief.
WTF are you talking about?
I am a gun lover. I love the mechanics, the machine work, the design.
the function alone drives me mad into studying and seeing how the parts work together.
That said, a child getting hands on a gun is my biggest fear. It has changed the way I store and keep guns many years ago.
I Just heard last week of a local 2 year old dying after getting hands on an unsecured gun. Sickening.
I can't stop thinking about it.
I'm not saying any more details so don't ask.

Generally when someone say bless your heart it's not meant to be endearing.
It wasn't.
Doesn't have a thing to do with freedom though.
Wife has been a nurse for over 30 years. It's not that rare.
Keeping guns out of the hands of kiddos is the reason I got a safe decades ago.
As for government mandates concerning how I store my stuff, they can eat manure.
Look at the obvious. Every time an active shooter gets shot down, everyone within range of the shooter was a potential victim. That could at the least be a factor of ten to one, maybe as high as hundreds to one, depending on the venue.

On the flip side that just means that all those guns getting into the hands of bad guys are endangering that many extra children which is kind of the opposite to what I think the point you're trying to make is.
