NEW YORK (AP) — Most U.S. gun owners say they own firearms to protect themselves and their loved ones, surveys show. But a study published Monday suggests people who live with handgun owners are shot to death at a higher rate than those who don’t have such weapons at home.
“We found zero evidence of any kind of protective effects” from living in a home with a handgun, said David Studdert, a Stanford University researcher who was the lead author of the Annals of Internal Medicine study.
The study has several shortcomings. For example, the researchers said they could not determine which victims were killed by the handgun owners or with the in-home weapons. They couldn’t account for illegal guns and looked only at handguns, not rifles or other firearms.
The dataset also was limited to registered voters in California who were 21 and older. It’s not clear that the findings are generalizable to the whole state, let alone to the rest of the country, the authors acknowledged.
But some outside experts said the work was well done, important and the largest research of its kind.
“I would call this a landmark study,” said Cassandra Crifasi, a gun violence policy researcher at Johns Hopkins University. “This contributes to our understanding of the potential causal relationship between guns in the home and homicides,” she said.

Repeal it all you want. Prohibition didn’t work did it?
You cannot force people to do what they don’t want to do.
That's the right question, and they have to be adding up the casualties in the ghetto.
How about do a study on the homicide risk in areas with a large proportion of “13/90s”, or “Guests from the south”?
Hmmm?
“Guns are Bad, mmkay”
” Annals of Internal Medicine” Go back to studying internal medicine.
Absolute nonsense, just like all these “studies”.

So far I have been lucky, but one time the Browning slipped out of the safe and almost got me before I was able beat it into submission.
Hey, I have an Oldsmobile that hasn’t killed anyone...
To the folks who did the study. Take your phone and call somebody that gives a fu#k.
Knives have killed more than guns in a household with heavy objects like hammers etc.
They are going to redefine it out of existence.
Just like they did with the natural born citizen clause.
A friend of mine lives in a first-floor city apartment. Well, late one night he was woken by a noise coming from his living room. Some guy was trying to crawl in through one of the windows.
My friend brandished a handgun. The invader guy quickly backed off and ran down the street. No shots were fired, and no cops were called.
Stories like this are far from rare. Yet they will not make it into any study such as the one the AP is pushing here.
The answer is still no.
Dear David, I think maybe you and yours should go back to studying your anals..
???People who have ladders fall off of ladders
more often than people who do not have ladders???
???People who have automobiles have traffic accidents
more often than people who do not have automobiles???
.... This information may actually be deceptively true for all the wrong reasons. Consider this ..... Most homicides take place in the inner cities where the gang culture runs rampant. Question: What do most gangbangers posses????? ..... Handguns.
Stupid enough he thinks wearing a cloth mask does something.
Study the willingness of gun free locations to put out a sign to that effect.
Oh wait that’s the location of every outsider walk-in shooting known. Gun presence does deter crime of all kinds. Begs the question, so what is the effect of gun presence in this obvious case and why do you think a house negates it????
Idiots getting no smarter given a piece of paper
