"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 |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com |
