i know it's unrealistic, but by me saying what i said in my last post i'm trying to illustrate a certain level of recklessness involved in using guns in general, especially in the home, that people ignore. i dont hate guns and i think they're great and dandy, i hate the gun user who turns a blind eye to what firearms are capable of tbh

The fire extinguisher isn't a substitute for safe behavior, and the safe behavior doesn't guarantee that the fire extinguisher will never be needed.

the fire extinguisher can't kill your family by some freak accident though, which is my entire point
