"Studies suggest [that] gun-owners using firearms in self-defense ... are exceedingly rare."
Only the 'studies' that cherry pick data to support a preordained outcome arrive at that conclusion. They deviously discard all evidence to the contrary. They are pure propaganda instruments intended to support a counterfeit claim.
Just as with so-called "Climate Change" studies, the unbiased exegeses based on all of the available data suggest otherwise, and are ignored. |

They don't count events where the defender simply presents a gun and the bad guy runs or surrenders as a DEFENSE USE OF A GUN, because there are very many of those.
They ONLY count the events were an honest citizen shoots a badguy, because there are so few of thosd.
It's a way of skewing the results and it is intellectually dishonest. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms has been recognized by the General Government; but the best security of that right after all is, the military spirit, that taste for martial exercises, which has always distinguished the free citizens of these States....Such men form the best barrier to the liberties of America — Gazette of the United States, October 14, 1789. |
