They don’t differentiate legally possessing a firearm from illegal possession. I would bet a stolen firearm in the hands of a lawless gangster is far more likely to be used to in a violent crime than those firearms in my safe.

“They don’t differentiate legally possessing a firearm from illegal possession. “

And yet the survey is supposed to be about “gun violence prevention laws”, and is clearly advocating for more such laws. A homeowner legally shooting a home invader in self-defense counts the same in this study as a gang member shooting an innocent bystander with a stolen gun.

Of course who needs laws when our legislators are just dying to give Obama “fast-track” powers to approve UN treaties?

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.
