I'm involved in a very civil ongoing discussion about guns with an anti-gun friend of mine.
One claim that they are making is that a gun is far more likely to be used in a domestic violence situation, then it is likely to be used in a self defense situation.
It's kind of a silly point if you ask me. i have plenty of data showing murder rates vs DGU for self defense.
But the claim is not that someone is being murdered in the domestic, but used in a non lethal manner.
I'm hoping someone with better research skills than me can link me to a resource disproving this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
