Violence is always the answer.

1-3. Guns are not used millions of times each year in self-defense
We use epidemiological theory to explain why the “false positive” problem for rare events can lead to large overestimates of the incidence of rare diseases or rare phenomena such as self-defense gun use. We then try to validate the claims of many millions of annual self-defense uses against available evidence. We find that the claim of many millions of annual self-defense gun uses by American citizens is invalid.

4. Most purported self-defense gun uses are gun uses in escalating arguments, and are both socially undesirable and illegal
We analyzed data from two national random-digit-dial surveys conducted under the auspices of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. Criminal court judges who read the self-reported accounts of the purported self-defense gun use rated a majority as being illegal, even assuming that the respondent had a permit to own and to carry a gun, and that the respondent had described the event honestly from his own perspective.

5. Firearms are used far more often to intimidate than in self-defense
Using data from a national random-digit-dial telephone survey conducted under the direction of the Harvard Injury Control Center, we examined the extent and nature of offensive gun use. We found that firearms are used far more often to frighten and intimidate than they are used in self-defense. All reported cases of criminal gun use, as well as many of the so-called self-defense gun uses, appear to be socially undesirable.

6. Guns in the home are used more often to intimidate intimates than to thwart crime
Using data from a national random-digit-dial telephone survey conducted under the direction of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, we investigated how and when guns are used in the home. We found that guns in the home are used more often to frighten intimates than to thwart crime; other weapons are far more commonly used against intruders than are guns.

7. Adolescents are far more likely to be threatened with a gun than to use one in self-defense

We analyzed data from a telephone survey of 5,800 California adolescents aged 12-17 years, which asked questions about gun threats against and self-defense gun use by these young people. We found that these young people were far more likely to be threatened with a gun than to use a gun in self-defense, and most of the reported self-defense gun uses were hostile interactions between armed adolescents. Males, smokers, binge drinkers, those who threatened others and whose parents were less likely to know their whereabouts were more likely both to be threatened with a gun and to use a gun in self-defense.

8. Criminals who are shot are typically the victims of crime
Using data from a survey of detainees in a Washington D.C. jail, we worked with a prison physician to investigate the circumstances of gunshot wounds to these criminals.
We found that one in four of these detainees had been wounded, in events that appear unrelated to their incarceration. Most were shot when they were victims of robberies, assaults and crossfires. Virtually none report being wounded by a “law-abiding citizen.”

9-10. Few criminals are shot by decent law-abiding citizens
Using data from surveys of detainees in six jails from around the nation, we worked with a prison physician to determine whether criminals seek hospital medical care when they are shot. Criminals almost always go to the hospital when they are shot. To believe fully the claims of millions of self-defense gun uses each year would mean believing that decent law-abiding citizens shot hundreds of thousands of criminals. But the data from emergency departments belie this claim, unless hundreds of thousands of wounded criminals are afraid to seek medical care. But virtually all criminals who have been shot went to the hospital, and can describe in detail what happened there.

11. Self-defense gun use is rare and not more effective at preventing injury than other protective actions
Victims use guns in less than 1% of contact crimes, and women never use guns to protect themselves against sexual assault (in more than 300 cases). Victims using a gun were no less likely to be injured after taking protective action than victims using other forms of protective action. Compared to other protective actions, the National Crime Victimization Surveys provide little evidence that self-defense gun use is uniquely beneficial in reducing the likelihood of injury or property loss.
This article helps provide accurate information concerning self-defense gun use. It shows that many of the claims about the benefits of gun ownership are largely myths.

americans have their guns to sgoot up the gov in case they want to establish a communist superstate

i'm a monster

>Guns in the home are used more often to intimidate intimates than to thwart crime
So what are they saying? People pull out their guns, call a local prison and threaten inmates? WTF?

The founding fathers were mostly slave owners who believed that most people shouldn't vote. Their opinions should be mostly irrelevant.

That's kind of the point of owning a gun for home defence, it's a deterrent, you knob.....if Joe blow knows that I have a gun then he wont want to rob me. You can miss label and pervert a biased set of research untill your old and dead and in the ground but it doesnt trump human instinct.......this entire cycle of posts prove that it doesnt matter how book smart you are....book smarts and college education dont mean dick when compared to actuall intelligence

>Living in a country where needing to defend yourself is serious concern
Haha fuck that gay shit, I'd just leave the shithole

There is isnt a single country on earth that is safe from violent crime you ponce

How would you go about defending yourself, then?

Different fag and non American. Note he said a serious concern. Not doesn't happen.
Other places its such an astronomically rare occurrence you have almost no reason to think about it ever.
In fact I'm pretty sure it's the same in the states of half of Americans are scared to death and think everyone is out to get them.
They have a considerably high murder rate of 5 in 100,000 per year compared to many other countries. Do the math on those odds of it happening to you.
Doesn't even warrant the "protect muh family" talk in the frequency it happens.

This

Wish there was a law that allowed you to shoot someone for not being able to speak English.

mend my pots, tinker.

ur a spineless faggot who is most likely suicidal .
people like you would let america go to shit.

Fuck you. Rather be a live monster than a dead victim.

Better a monster than a victim.

So how will i defend myself from the homeless nigger down the street?

Because you can't even properly structure a sentence of your own, you yourself are unable to speak english.

Contrary to popular belief, none of us are speaking proper English at all. In fact, we aren’t even doing anything. This isn’t even real.

How about Brazil who have one of the strictest gun laws in the world. It isn't about how many guns the citizens have but about the people.

Being a serious concern or not doesn't matter, as long as there is a possibility, you should be able to defend yourself using a gun.
I'm non American too, and I wish I had a gun.

Nigger.

Well places like Korea or Japan they don't have guns or crime but are really strict on things like drug culture unlike we are in the west. Or in Latin america which has a lot of violence yet the public doesn't carry firearms.
