I believe it is crucial to consider the unique lethality and ease of use that firearms possess

For instance, in situations of domestic violence, access to a firearm increases the risk of homicide by 500%. Even if other means for harm exist, none is as efficient and deadly as a gun. I agree that self-defense is important, but shouldn't we also consider the potential misuse of these weapons and the ensuing harm that could be prevented? How do you propose we balance the need for self-defense with the potential risks that firearms pose?
