I wonder if Sen. Yee realizes that metal detectors can still detect bullets?
I have to agree that you're misconstruing the danger. How many of those women were murdered with their own firearm? Probably not very many. Frankly, a better choice of boyfriend would have been a much more relevant judgement call than the decision to own, or live in a residence with, a firearm. If you can't trust your significant other with your safety around firearms, you should probably find another significant other. Not to say that there isn't a risk of negligent discharges or the like, but owning a car is far, far, far, far more dangerous than owning a firearm. Whether you feel you can handle a firearm safely enough, or that your need for self defense is great enough, is an individual judgement call. Handwaving individual circumstances with broad generalizations isn't the best way to approach this.
