Nothing but medical articles. Of course you have a greater chance of being killed by a gun than if you dont have one. What they dont tell you is your chance with is something like .0000015 percent as opposed to .0000000000015 percent. Youre talking about no risk vs no risk basically which is why they use percentages comparing them instead of telling you the actual risk.
If your irresponsible and an idiot you have a greater chance, if you arent your chance is the same.
All they did was start at a conclusion and work backwards to justify things that are statistically insignificant
