Even though I hit the “agree” button I’d be worried about someone having a gun for self protection in my living space. I’ve heard too many stories about people killing family members by mistake.
I would also be worried about any kids in an environment with unlocked guns. I assume the roommates are all single women but even single women occasionally babysit their friend’s kids or have visits from young relatives. This woman’s room was unlocked all weekend and if the roommates could find her gun a kid could too.
Massachusetts is, I believe, the only state that requires that all firearms be stored with a lock in place whenever they’re not in use. Guns are used in just 9% of youth suicides in Massachusetts, compared to 39% of youth suicides nationally, and the overall suicide death rate among youth in Massachusetts is 35% below the national average.
Gun ownership is highly correlated with suicide rates. I can’t claim causality, but if you look at these two maps side by side it’s striking.
