“Studies have shown that having a gun at home can increase the risk of firearm-related violence, and someone who lives in that house or visits it is 12 times more likely to be killed by that gun than a burglar. “

I don’t think so. These supposed studies are totally bogus. We both have weapons and we will never give a burglar an even break.

That's true. Nevertheless, the Kellerman studies in the New England Journal of Medicine were cited in a recent issue of Nature in an anti-gun, anti-NRA piece. Of course, that journal is edited in England. Even so, it's one of the top scientific journals in the world. Makes me wonder just how much else in it I should question.
