Same. When I was 19 I went through an awful depressive episode that I would’ve absolutely ended if I had access to a firearm. [b]Guns are FAR more likely to be used in suicide than in protection. [/b][/quote]

That has to be the most ridiculous thing said on this forum in ages.

Guns are used over 1.2 to 2 million times a year in the USA alone for self defense. Most don't have to fire a shot, simply the presence of it stops the altercation or attack.

There are around 20,000 suicides by firearm a year in the USA.

1.5 million > 20,000 by a huge margin. :D [/quote]

Over the study period, 647 firearm deaths occurred in homes (3.9 per 100 000 person-years) (Figure). The median age of the persons killed by firearms was 48 (interquartile range [IQR], 30-64) years, and 541 (83.6%) were male (Table). Nearly all persons who committed suicide (502 [96.2%]) died at their own residence; whereas 57 persons killed by homicide (65.5%) died at their own residence, and 23 (26.4%) died at the residence of a friend or acquaintance. Of cases with a known firearm source, 114 persons who committed suicide (93.4%) used a firearm kept in the home. In contrast, homicide offenders brought the firearm to the home in 74 (81.3%) cases. Of the 99 homicides, 12 (12.1%) were self-defense. [b]For each case of self-defense homicide, there were 0.9 unintentional deaths (95% CI, 0.4-2.1), 7.3 criminal homicides (95% CI, 4.0-13.3), and 44.1 suicides (95% CI, 24.9-78.1) in the home.

Firearms are used over a million times a year to stop crimes. - FBI stats for the last 40 years. [/quote]

This is true and scientifically established time and time again.

But the progressives desperately want to conceal these facts from you, in order to push their radical, anti-Constitutional agenda of banning civilian ownership of arms and prohibiting self defense.[/quote]
