8. Wrong comparison though
The vast majority of DGU's do not, and should not, include harming intruders.

Since all but a few bloodthirsty loons like the old fellow who ran outside to shoot some burglars would agree it's better to scare off intruders than kill them or even shoot them to wound (a silly idea in itself), then surely the effectiveness of guns in the home would be how often they prevent or put to flight intruders, not how often they harm or kill them.
