It is scientifically accurate to say that someone with self defense equipment is more likely to save themselves during a criminal altercation than someone without self defense equipment. If that wasn’t true, there would be no reason for ladies to carry pepper spray when they go out at night.
I don’t deny science, but using overall gun death statistics is misleading. If a victim has to shoot someone in a self defense situation, it still generates one gun injury that could apply to those statistics.
You can look up hundreds of security cam recordings on YouTube of people who successfully defended themselves. Those people would have been in a worse position if they had not been prepared.
All egomaniacs believe, a “gun” will save “THEM” but the statistics are VERY clear, you’re more likely to kill some else accidentally/on purpose, kill yourself, or get the weapon taken away from you and used on you then ever use it successfully in self defense.
Guns are popular for self defense do to clever marketing, lack of common sense, and steering of american culture.
.09% chance to use a gun in self defense. In a study NOT done directly by gun lobby. (those studies show fun facts like twice the number of people claiming they shot someone in self-defense as total gun shots in ERs)
Oof such a flat earther take. Just to note statistics and facts support nothing you’ve claimed.
“This is my lived experience”
“O yeah? I read online somewhere that’s statistically unlikely, checkmate flat earther!” 🤡
