What an interesting and original thing to say!
Too bad there is absolutely no data to support this view, and
a great deal of data to the contrary. The short response is that,
because of the hoops one must jump through to buy a gun, gun
owners as a group are more law-abiding and less likely to
bring harm to their families than the population in general.
A hypoglycemic mother is a greater danger to her children than
a gun-owning father.
