in the head with guns they happened upon to prove your point, be my guest. I'd rather no three year-olds got shot in the head because they happened upon a loaded weapon. If there were no loaded handguns in homes that would be the case in both states. Maybe spouses would be beaten or stabbed to death rather than shot and bar fights with beer bottles or pool cues would replace shootings in exactly equal numbers. I doubt it.
