"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 most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
