Then cite those numbers.
You know perfectly well that simply living in a house with a gun doubles your chance of dying to homicide. I don’t need to find the data for you - a simple google search will find them. You well understand the issue - I don’t know why you are pretending not to.
Doubles the risk huh? Citation needed.

“Residents who don’t own a handgun but live with someone who does…”
First fuckin sentence. Doesn’t apply to gun owners at all.
Look you can try to cherry pick - but the problem is that all the data points in the same direction - gun ownership, living in households with guns. etc all makes someone less safe. https://everytownresearch.org/report/disarming-fear-debunking-myths-of-defensive-gun-use/
And again, all you cite is risk of gun ownership, never ever once do you consider the increased risk of assault and murder that the LGBT community and other minority groups face on a daily basis. It outweighs your fears.
But you pretended you couldn’t even understand such concerns in order to avoid even mentioning them. Conversation is over.
Yes, in fact I do. The rate at which minority groups are at risk of violence is higher than non minority groups - sure - but: Guns make them less safe - they are more likely to die in the attempt to defend themselves, and dramatically more likely to die to their own hand and to intimate partners - which is why the household risk is relevant. Even though they are at greater risk of victimization, owning guns still makes them less safe, not more. Why are you pretending not to understand this?
You pretended not to understand who I was talking about in order to avoid saying the word “transfolk.” You don’t give a shit about them. Conversation is over.
