Here are some more asinine facts for you.

Women are more likely to be killed with their own gun than they are likely to use it for defense.


A study of risk factors for violent death of women in the home found that women living in homes with 1 or more guns were more than 3 times more likely to be killed in their homes. The same study concluded that women killed by a spouse, intimate acquaintance, or close relative were 7 times more likely to live in homes with 1 or more guns and 14 times more likely to have a history of prior domestic violence compared to women killed by non-intimate acquaintances.7
Family and intimate assaults with firearms are 12 times more likely to result in death than non-firearm assaults. This research suggests that limiting access to guns will result in less lethal family and intimate assaults.

On edit: I'll save you from posting this gunner talking point, "that study is flawed." Now you don't have to waste your time posting that asinine statement.
