"It is a belief that helped drive a historic rise in U.S. firearms sales and first-time gun owners during the COVID-19 pandemic: Having a handgun at home for personal protection will make you safer
"Groundbreaking new research conducted over a 12-year period shows that the opposite is true"
"Between October 2004 and the end of 2016, adults in the state who didn’t own a gun but took up residence with someone who did were much more likely to die a violent death than people in households without a handgun, researchers from Stanford University found"
"Those who lived with a handgun owner were almost twice as likely to die by homicide as their neighbors without guns, the researchers found. More specifically, adults who lived with the owner of a handgun were almost three times more likely to be killed with a firearm than in households where no handguns were present."

Is it any wonder that the NRA, ie gun manufacturers, with the aid of the GOP, have bitterly fought against any research being done on guns and gun deaths? Common sense, a gun in the house drastically increases your chances of becoming a victim of that gun, not the burglar or home invader, but rather by someone you know
But the right's solution to gun violence in America, again inbred by the gun manufactures' propaganda, is that more houses should have guns, the more guns, the safer one is, which has been proven a lie
