Women in a house with a gun much more likely to be shot.

Here is my take on this.

The government should, at all levels, encourage American Citizens to learn about firearms, how to use them, and recognize the responsibility that goes with firearm ownership and the consequences involved if you should ever have to use it in defence of your life, property, or loved ones.

Why doesn't the Government mandate firearm's instruction in schools. It could go hand in hand with the same instruction on our Constitution, and The 2d Amendment. This could be in conjunction with a new found curriculum on the responsibilities of being a citizen and a productive member of a community.

If every citizen was trained in the use of firearms, and given proper instructions on what it means to be a armed citizen, the Country would be a much safer place.

All of these so called "studies" that expound all of the tripe such as the link represents center around people who own guns but don't have a clue as to how to use them, or even more, the responsibilities involved in gun ownership. It's like giving someone a driver's license when they have never even driven a car.

I'm not talking about some 2 day course like most States have in order to aquire a CDL. Heck, Hellen Keller could pass that. I'm talking about real instruction and training.

Perhaps it is time for our Governments to embrace our American Heritedge, recognize our Bill of Rights, especially the 2d Amendment, as more than just words, and do it's part in education the entire population on firearms, their use, and the responsibilities involved.

The NRA likes to claim that guns are an equalizer for women but the truth is women who have a gun in the house are more likely to have that gun used against them.

Not butt hurt at all, don visit this forum much anymore, cause you bore the shit out of me with your drivel.

So you're saying they would end up dead regardless of whether there was a gun present?

The same could be said about any dangerous object in the home.

The 2nd Amendment gives people the right to bear arms. The 2nd Amendment does NOT require people to bear arms.

“Where there are more guns, more women die”: A Harvard public health expert breaks down the data on firearms and women’s safety.

Women in the United States are 11 times more likely to be murdered with guns than women in other high-income countries. The presence of a firearm during a domestic violence incident increases the likelihood of a homicide by 500 percent.

Every year, substantially more people in the U.S. die from drug overdose than are murdered with a gun. The probability of being injured or killed in an automobile accident is directly related to ownership and use of the automobile, and that number is also substantially greater than the number of people murdered with a gun. And quit with your fuckin' lib-retard cherry picking of data, for comparison, derived from countries with more homogeneous populations, suckclown.

Speedie and NBK both make the same mistake. No one said anything about REQUIRING gun ownership. What they said was that the government should TEACH people how to use guns properly. They teach people to use calculus even if they will never use it. They teach people "folk dancing" in gym class, ditto. In the case of NBK, they teach personal hygiene, ditto. Anyone ever been in a gym class where they brought out the old bow and arrows? I have but I have yet to carry a bow in my day to day life. Shooting a gun is a skill like any other. Only the left (Speedie is an exception) seems to be hell bent on denying themselves and others access to that skill.

CONCLUSIONS: Cars kept in homes are more likely to be involved in a fatal or nonfatal accident by the resident driver than cars not kept in the home.

Yes and we are also talking specifically about women in relation to firearms in the home. The article is purporting that women are most likely to be shot with a gun that is in the home than to use it in self defense. There simply isn't enough valuable evidence to support that claim.

What about people who have no interest in firearms at all? I don't want to learn about firearms. I don't want my kids learning about them. I don't need to understand the responsibility of ownership, because I don't want to own one. You have an irrational fear of attack. I'll take my chances, because I understand statistics...
