He now admits it's 2.7 times, not 43 times, and still won't release the raw data.

Kellerman, once again, shows that you are 43 times to be murdered with you own firearm than to use it against an intruder

And secondly, using a gun to stop a robber from taking your TV does not do as much good for society as stopping 30,000 gun DEATHS

How do I know if the robber is in my house to take the TV or to rape my wife and kill my children? I'm not going to ask.

I'd rather be raped and still be alive and able to move on, than to be shot and killed or paralyzed.

The NRA represents millions of its members. Where is the proof as you state?

Being shot by intruders is why I reserve the ability to defend myself. You think home invasions are perpetrated by unarmed criminals?
I teach people how to retain their firearms as part of their CCW training.
