As all statistical evidence indicates, your family is far more likely to be killed by your gun than by any other. Your gun ownership endangers your family.
Like everything in stats you have a conditional probability given that I, like most gun owners, am a responsible gun owner.
I have a safe, trigger locks, don't have a history of violence, etc. The small minority who are irresponsible gun owners get slaughtered increasing the numbers for the larger pool.
That partition function in the denominator is key!

So, no. My gun does not endanger my family.
