and as you're sitting on that couch watching television you're also practicing car safety because you're not actively breaking any traffic laws.

IOW, you're free to make that claim and you're not wrong per se, but you're not right and it doesn't refute the point.

The equivalent analogy is that you didn't leave the car in neutral on the top of a hill.

The number one rule of firearm safety - Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.

And yet children shoot themselves or others all the time because a gun was not safely stored.

But I digress...
