"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 |
| Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
