If a 2 year old got hold of a gun an adult acted irresponsibly. 2 year olds don't outsmart adults. If you are outsmarted by a 2 year old you need to consider the possibility you are not an adult. Age does not determine if someone is an adult.
I have known more people injured and killed by firearms than people who have used them for protection. From my experiences handguns have caused more harm than they have averted.
The other side of the coin is would the people injured or killed by irresponsible and reckless use of a gun not have still been injured or killed if the gun was removed from their lives. I would say that irresponsible and reckless behavior would eventually lead to the same outcome with or without a gun.

What? How many people do you know that were injured and killed by firearms? That's not normal to know more than one, unless you served in the military or were a cop.
Also, that is not an accurate statistic at all, it's actually the other way around.
