Gun Ownership: Shooting Yourself Before Shooting Others

"Owning a gun for personal security is statistically unrealistic. Owners are more likely to be hurt by their own gun than someone else’s, as a gun is used in suicides or suicide attempts 11 times as often and in unintentional shooting deaths four times as often as in self-defense."

--Michael Abraham in an op-ed (here) this morning
