In a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993, researchers found that having a gun in the home was linked with nearly three times higher odds that someone would be killed at home by a family member or intimate acquaintance. Studies using more recent data have come to the same conclusion. In a 2019 study, researchers found that states with high levels of household gun ownership have more domestic gun homicides than other states do.
In a 2017 study published in Science, Philip Levine and his colleague Robin McKnight found that where gun sales increased after Sandy Hook (as indicated by increases in background checks), rates of accidental death rose, too. They estimated that 60 additional people, including 20 children, were killed in the aftermath of Sandy Hook because of the excess guns people purchased.
In 2015, David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, and Sara Solnick, an economist at the University of Vermont, analyzed national government surveys involving more than 14,000 people and reported that guns are used for self-protection in less than 1 percent of all crimes that take place in the presence of a victim. They also found that people were more likely to be injured after threatening attackers with guns than they were if they had called the police or run away.
States in the top quartile of firearm ownership had a 64.6% (p<0.001) higher incidence rate of domestic firearm homicide than states in the lowest quartile. –
Scientists who conduct research on gun violence overwhelmingly agree that firearms make society more dangerous, according to a recent poll conducted by David Hemenway of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Individuals in possession of a gun were 4.46 (P < .05) times more likely to be shot in an assault than those not in possession. Charles C. Branas, PhD,<sup>

Conclusion,
The hard-core gun owner will never accept the truth.
And here is both the terrible tragedy of America’s gun habit and the best hope to end it. In virtually every way that can be measured, owning a firearm makes the owner, the owner’s family, and the people around them less safe. The hard-core gun owner will never accept this truth. But the 36 percent in the middle—they may be open to it, if they can be helped to perceive it.

Well, this one lit a fuse didn’t it.
Linda hides behind the second fucking amendment and puds misdirects it to mental illness.
All so pathetically predictable.
They’re both brainwashed into believing that’s it’s normal to carry a gun. They defend their God given right to bear arms. They argue about gun calibers, clips sizes, age limits.
No my chat colleagues. It is not normal on this planet to be carrying a gun. ANY FUCKING GUN. It’s a sign that the USA is totally fucked up with guns. You choose to ignore the overwhelming correlation between gun ownership and gun killings in your country. You dont want to admit facts that hit you in the face. Your country is awash with guns and nothing and no-one will ever change that and the mass murders are a permanent part of American culture.
Endless mass murders, the epitome of the land of freedom.
Mass murder of kids, in the home of the fucking brave.
Sweet fuck all is tastier
Now that tRump has all but disappeared into a paragraph of history, I feel his so-called supporters in Congress still soiling the Capitol toilets need to be brought into the conversation.
marge green is the star of the brat pack. This pug-faced little gnome is an evil piece of work and called for lardy arse to impose martial law in her text to the tRump white house just before the attempted insurrection.
Thing is, manic marge called for ‘marshall’ law………
She really does need to go back to her toilet cleaning job and make a real contribution.

Oh, I’m certainly not a fan of Piers Morgan and even though he made tRump sweat a bit with some real questions and real facts, I guess it takes one twat to interview another twat.
