It has become an annual rite with the Violence Policy Center to release a report claiming, “Firearms 100 times more likely to kill women than protect them.” Last year, the New York Times and Vice carried the claims.

Oh yes, these people. I recall recently Professor Lott putting together a study that showed that police officers were more likely to be convicted of non-justifiable homicides than concealed permit holders, thus completely destroying some sensationalized allegation that the VPC put forth that charged about how permit holders were that very likely to engage in non justified killings.
