A new study led by epidemiologists at Brown University found that among firearm owners, less safe storage was associated with higher blood lead levels in children.
While I agree with you to an extent, I bet many people who use gun safes properly are also mindful of cleaning themselves and their clothing after shooting.

Yeah, no one ever said they didn’t. Or that any group was the same.
My point was that storage method didn’t matter.
Any correlation is likely because someone who buys a gun and only plans to touch it “when they need it” are going to likely keep it in a safe.
Regardless of how well you think you’re cleaning yourself tho, you’re being lead home from shooting. It takes a lot to actually mitigate it, and even if you think you are, you’re not.

I know, I was just pointing out that there are careful gun owners out there who also take into account cleaning lead.
And yes, I’m aware it’s not perfect, but it greatly reduces the exposure
