Abstract
Objective: Determine the relative frequency with which guns in the home are used to injure or kill in self-defense, compared with the number of times these weapons are involved in an unintentional injury, suicide attempt, or criminal assault or homicide.
Methods: We reviewed the police, medical examiner, emergency medical service, emergency department, and hospital records of all fatal and nonfatal shootings in three U.S. cities: Memphis, Tennessee; Seattle, Washington; and Galveston, Texas.
Results: During the study interval (12 months in Memphis, 18 months in Seattle, and Galveston) 626 shootings occurred in or around a residence. This total included 54 unintentional shootings, 118 attempted or completed suicides, and 438 assaults/homicides. Thirteen shootings were legally justifiable or an act of self-defense, including three that involved law enforcement officers acting in the line of duty. For every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides.
Conclusions: Guns kept in homes are more likely to be involved in a fatal or nonfatal accidental shooting, criminal assault, or suicide attempt than to be used to injure or kill in self-defense.

That'd Likely be overkill tbh.

You'll never need more than a pistol/handgun for home defense unless you honestly think that someone is trying to rob your house in full body armor lmao

Wouldnt you want something smaller and more maneuverable in a pinch?

dunno, I always felt that the chance of stupid shit happening with a gun was always higher than it ever being of any use.

do you live in a ghetto or something?

I have a 9 mm pistol but it's one of those micro guns so it snaps like crazy, more of a carry gun

Edit: not sure what happened to the picture quality there but it is a Scorpion 3+

an ar-9? does that look like an ar-15?

i mean, if you want to? though if your going the 9mm route might as well just use a pistol. better for closed in areas.

its an AR platform chambered in 9mm. or also called a pistol caliber carbine.

how much do these, run?

Lmao, this guy

if you're actually interested in "home defense" and not LARPing as a soldier, get a shotgun.

No.

explain? i've read / heard that advice so many times from people experienced with boom boom sticks.

Genuinely hilarious how upset the gun worshippers are about someone just posting actual facts ITT.

You should get a psychological examination if you really think you need a gun.

When you find facts to be personally insulting don't you start to wonder if your side is just wrong?

Not sure where you're getting that I'm "personally insulted". I just saw a clown performing and did the polite thing by laughing at their antics

Lmao, this guy
