Politicians have been calling on Americans to arm themselves in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, and industry reps say sales are up. But years of research say that keeping a gun in a home increases shooting risks.

Baloney.

About such studies, what they always fail to mention is that most times a gun is used to harm someone in a household the shooting is connected with criminal activity. The chance of a family member being harmed by a legally owned firearm absent a criminal act is extremely slight. But then the only way the anti gunners can gain support is to cherry pick their statistics.

Funny how they can award a Nobel prize to an idiot!

He is in good company with obama, however.

They come up with this bogus statistic by including suicide in their data and ignoring defensive firearm use where no one is killed.

I am 67 years old and we have always had guns in the house. Nobody was ever harmed. I'll take my chances as the risk of a negligent shooting is less than nil.

Liberals telling me these same tired old lies, are much more dangerous to my family than any firearm I may possess.
