Gun Statistics
"In 2013, for every justifiable homicide in the United States involving a gun, guns were used in 37 criminal homicides. And this ratio does not even take into account the tens of thousands of lives needlessly lost in gun suicides and unintentional shootings that year." - Violence Policy Center
Guns kept in the home for self-protection are 22 times more likely to kill a family member or friend than to kill an assailant in self-defense. (Kellerman, Journal, Trauma, 1998)
