You make a good point in one sense...as a portion of a number...which is a valid consideration.
That said, there are other aspects on which to criticize the situation:
That they are so uncritical and unthinking that they include a sizable number who clearly don’t belong, and are willing to use even people who needed to be made dead to support disarming the rest of us. This is pretty egregious, and an obvious example even in the more ‘normal’ situations...without even getting to the outrage with Timerlan.
That they would wish us helpless against even these villains in even these situations where the firearms were needed and ostensibly used properly...even in those situations.

For decades the anti-gun nuts have been making huge statistical distortions so frankly I am surprised that people get bent out of shape at a MERE 8 percent.
