NEW YORK — Most U.S. gun owners say they own firearms to protect themselves and their loved ones, surveys show. But a study published Monday suggests people who live with handgun owners are shot to death at a higher rate than those who don’t have such weapons at home.
The dataset also was limited to registered voters in California who were 21 and older. It’s not clear that the findings are generalizable to the whole state, let alone to the rest of the country, the authors acknowledged. California is unusual in that it offers gun ownership data and other information not obtainable in almost any other state. That allowed the researchers to follow millions of people over many years to try to better establish what happens when a person begins living in a home with handgun, they said.
Lawrence Duh. Anger, violence, alcohol, negligence. What could go wrong?
Drownings more likely in homes with pools.
Lawrence Another study (Stanford University) has found that 'people who owned handguns had rates of suicide that were nearly FOUR times higher than people living in the same neighborhood who did not own handguns.'
Study finds higher homicide risk in home where people live too!
No duh.
SunnyDays024 In other news, bear shits in woods.
😒 - water is wet.
Probably easier to do. Because of the handguns.
AngelaKrebs444 Duh
Well, DUH!
You came to the rob the wrong house.... surprise
If you own a gun you will jump off a bridge
Shocker!
'12 will be shot to death by someone else over five years. In comparison, eight out of 100,000 who live in gun-free homes' This is a very slim margin of error and with no conflating factors like drug use, criminal history, etc. it tells us almost nothing.
Study also fines that Russians would easily attack us if we weren’t armed
Lawrence DUH
Study finds water is wet.
As opposed to what.? Homes with lead pipes, pepper spray, knives, rope, chains, glass bottles, and/or tasers.?
Lawrence The only thing that can stop a bad man with a gun is a good government that takes gun control seriously.
Ummmm
Lawrence No shit
Lawrence Duh? D’oh! On another front, people with spaghetti noodles are more likely to buy spaghetti sauce.
Lawrence That required a study?
Lawrence I hope they didn’t spend much on that study, I coulda told them this for free.
shannonrwatts Why study this? Did someone actually get money to study this? Does someone study whether bears shit in the forest too?
Wow, top notch reporting here folks. Glad this secret got out! There is no way the average human would ever have guessed this little nugget of wisdom! EXTRA EXTRA NEWSPAPER REPORTS; CAPTAIN OBVIOUS OUT OF JOB!
Lawrence Gee, Einstein. I could’ve told you that.
shannonrwatts No 💩
shannonrwatts What? Why the fuck would that be the case? I’m really confused.
shannonrwatts We had to have a study for that?
Lawrence I was interested but certainly am not subscribing to the Denver paper. Lawrence please don’t retweet paywall content.
shannonrwatts Duh
Lawrence lmao I can’t imagine why!

shannonrwatts Shocker.
shannonrwatts You had to do a study to learn that?
shannonrwatts What a shock
Lol read the article. It clearly states study has several flaws. As they say, garbage in garbage out. If you do a study do it without bias and complete data.
The Australian gun laws make so much sense. The numbers don't lie.
Do you ever get tired of lying?
Who would have thought?!
But, but wait i thought they were to protect?
I’m utterly shocked
Ofcourse, its obvious
Yeah as in I shoot people who enter my house without permission and they call it homicide.
No shit
Shocker
