>Having children in cars makes them and you less safe.
>Having stairs and tall furniture in your house makes your family LESS safe then not having them.
>Having cleaning products in your house makes your family LESS safe then not having them.
>Having bathtubs in your house makes your family LESS safe then not having them.
>Having fireplaces, ovens and gas furnaces in your house makes your family LESS safe then not having them.

>Each of these are more common causes of accidental death for children than firearms.

>Now, those blanket statements take no individual family dynamics into account they are simply broad brushstrokes to prove a false premise. While collectively people with pools will have more children drown in them then people without, that doesn't mean no pools should ever be built. It's called managing risk. A gun is no different, except that it's less likely to cause an accidental death.

You're halfway there. It's not just about risk, look at the ratio of benefit to risk.
