James E. Causey - Are you safer owning a gun for home protection?

James E. Causey - Are you safer owning a gun for home protection?: "Statistics bear out that there is a 50% chance that the gun is taken over,"

"you don't know if that burglar is the kid down the street or a street person who is just hungry"

If 50% are really able to take the gun then the "innocent" burglar must be quite rare. :-/

"My research showed that a gun owner was 43 times more likely to shoot and kill a family member than that he'd shoot and kill anybody else"

That confuses the tool with the outcome. The useful statistic would be how much gun ownership affects the number of innocent people killed.
