    Nice selection bias, as if the many more people it turns out catastrophically for are able to speak their opinions on the matter in contrast.

      Ok you say it’s selection bias… Can you show me some news stories of people who’s guns were taken from them? Surely if as you say a successful defensive gun use is one in a million there are tens of not hundreds of millions of failed DGU gone wrong stories…

      I doubt you will find many. Even anti gun researchers say there are minimum 4x as many DGUs as firearm homicides. I can cite stats on that when back at my desktop if you want them.

      There’s plenty of valid reasons to be against gun ownership. But the idea that DGU is one in a million is not one of them.
