The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ditch the guns...

Although personal protection is a major motivation for purchasing firearms,
existing studies suggest that people living in homes with firearms have higher risks for dying by homicide and suicide...

Overall rates of homicide were more than twice as high among cohabitants of handgun owners than among cohabitants of non-owners.
Among homicides occurring at home, cohabitants of gun owners had sevenfold higher rates of being fatally shot by a spouse or intimate partner.
Living with a handgun owner is associated with substantially elevated risk for dying by homicide. Women are disproportionately affected.

The rate of suicide was significantly higher after a cohabitant became a handgun owner compared with the rate observed while they lived in handgun-free homes.

Study findings in one other area were noteworthy: homicides perpetrated by strangers...
Homicides of this kind were relatively uncommon in our study population'much less common than
deaths perpetrated by the victim's partner, family members, or friends. But when they happened,
people living with gun owners did not experience them less often than people in gun-free homes.
