    Guns bought for protection are more likely to hurt you or a loved one than protect you. Guns are terrible for self-defense and the data shows these types of injuries are more common after mass panic buying. Don’t buy guns for home protection, they make you less safe.https://twitter.com/JimMacMillan/status/1246087554711027712 …

        Guns are not safe. That should be uncontroversial, but in our stupid society we have people truly believe the opposite. But the risk here isn’t to your stockpile of charmin, but of self-injurious behavior. No really.https://injepijournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40621-019-0212-0 …

        Turns out, guns are dangerous, and ideally require significant (years) of training in handling, accurate shooting, and inculcation of a culture of safety. Bored idiots with a new panic buy are the worst mixture of inexperience, poor storage, child access, and mental health risk.

        The data above shows after these bouts of panic buying injuries increase. Because people think they’re immune to statistics and they’ve been lied to that guns make their homes safer. They do not. They make you and your family 2-3x more likely to die of suicide or homicide.

        The risk increases with increased exposure. Conceal carriers were found in a study with matched cohort controls to have 4x risk of homicide and that *increased* to 5x in cases where they attempted to defend themselves. Statistically it’s better to run (or not escalate).

        And when the innumerate number of DGUs the gun owners claim are more carefully evaluated by independent legal experts? Yeah, turns out, the majority of those were actually unlawful assaults being filtered through the biased hindsight of gun owners.

        You are far more likely to be menaced by a gun than saved by a gun. If you’re husband is abusive it dramatically increases your risk of homicide. If you have children it increases their risk of accidental death and suicide. Guns don’t make you safe.

        So, by all means if you hunt, or shoot skeet and trap, or just like going to the range and popping off a few rounds, own a gun, and store it locked and unloaded in a safe that the kids can’t access. But don’t believe the marketing lie that it makes your home safer.

        Unfortunately the data there are also alarming, and sad. Gun owners that have bought into the safety lie (which is most of them) are more likely to store their guns unsafely - because they believe a lie. Only a tiny minority of gun owners accept the reality of the stats.

        Those gun owners, like me, are more likely to store their firearms safely. Because we know we are not immune to statistics. Accidents happen. Risk is exposure*time. And increasing exposure for the sake of a nonexistant benefit is just stupid.
