21. Of course, because he didn't do that at all.

The 1986 study concluded:

"Every time a gun is used in self-defense, it is 43 times more likely to be used in a homicide, suicide, or accidental shooting."

The 1993 conclusion was:

"When a firearm is kept in the home, there is a 2.7 times increase in risk of homicide."

Keerist...debating you people is like shooting fish in a barrel.
