"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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
