A gun in a home is 43 times more likely to be used on someone in the house than on an intruder.

It doesn't make the study or its findings BS.

What kind of research claiming "a gun at home is 43 times more likely to be used on someone in the house"???

Please give up already. Neither the math nor the logic is on your side.

If you have an abusive husband or boyfriend, it's very dangerous. I personally have a family member whose inlaw choked his wife with his bare hands. No gun in sight.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, GET OUT of the house!

Very good advice. If anyone is a victim of domestic violence, and living in a home with someone violent who has a gun, get the hell out.

There are instances i believe, where some people should be aware of their surroundings, and who it is they are living with.

I also knew someone a good friend who was suckered punch in the face, and punched all over by her husband, he got her good, with his bare hands, are we now going to put a ban on hands too.

Where there is a will their is the means and the way, for someone who is after you to get you. Gun or no gun.

You apparently misunderstand the intent of my post. The statistics are skewed because it is not a fair representation of where the problem exists. Saying that 43% of "all households" is incorrect. It may be an average, but there is a huge dichotomy between the houses where violence occurs and where it does not.
