Uh…what? I think you might have responded to the wrong person?? I never even mentioned the words safe or safety.
Anyway, since you took the time, I’ll respond. Your comment is, well, odd. Maybe I’m not understanding you? You begin by setting up the idea that security doesn’t provide safety, and then you go on to say that it provides you time. You seem to qualify this by suggesting that having the gift of time in the face of a dangerous situation is a good thing, it might provide someone time to “deal w/ the threat”. So, I guess the question is: what is the difference in your mind between “safety” and having additional time to deal w/ a threat? Are you not “safe” during that period where you’re not being harmed? Later you posit the idea that a safe isn’t the easiest way to “prevent a kid from playing with a weapon”, but rather education is. I think you might have meant to say (but, please, correct me if I’m wrong): buying a safe is dead easy, but it’s much more effective, thorough, and worth the painstaking time to to instill an education.
Is that what you meant?
