Really? You're going to ignore the argument and play games? You *did* say you carry because "Guns pose no threat to me," and you *did* say "the threat of mishandling or misuse of my guns really is zero." Those statements are ludicrous and naive. They're self-evidently wrong unless you have superhuman powers.
No superhuman powers are needed. In fact I believe even you might be capable of developing the needed skill.

The argument you didn't respond to is that you do not have superhuman powers that enable you to handle guns safely always everywhere. Reasserting, in essence, that you do too have superhuman powers is absurd. Either give an answer that's not ludicrous, or get off the thread and stop wasting people's time.
But Percy, I am not fool enough to claim superhuman powers.

It shouldn't have to be explained that you can't use single data points or anecdotal data. There are old people out there saying things like, "I've smoked all my life and now I'm 90, so smoking isn't dangerous," so why don't you take up smoking. They've got as much evidence that smoking is safe as you do that some people could never misuse or mishandle your guns.
Again, why do you continue to post absurd caricatures of what I actually have posted.
I did smoke for at least a half century and stopped about five years ago. No real reason, I just stopped.
Yet it remains a fact that in over a half century no one has been harmed by my guns. And for others to misuse or mishandle my guns they would first need to be in possession of my guns and I don't much have to worry since there are laws to prevent that. And yes, I am laughing at your assertion.
I have never said that guns are safe, I am not so foolish as to make that claim. Driving is dangerous. Skateboarding is dangerous. Lots of things are dangerous.
If you feel threatened by my guns, then that is your problem, not mine.
If you feel threatened by the prevalence of guns in the US, that is your problem, not mine.
Fortunately in the US there is still no right to not feel threatened.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
