Would that everyone were as responsible as your father, but surely you know that anecdotes =/= data. DBB said "statistics show," and there are studies that back her up, though many can and do question the validity or accuracy of those studies.
Honest question, not meant to argue with you but meant to help me understand how you see this: If the guns in your house are not accessible to anyone but your father, then how does having them help if an intruder wanting to harm you or others in your family comes when your father's not home?
