{1} In fact, in 1998, for every time that a civilian used a handgun to kill in self-defense, 51 people lost their lives in handgun homicides alone.

{2} Left out of those reports is the fact that in 1999 for every one time a woman used a handgun to kill in self-defense, 120 women were murdered with handguns.

DfM, {1} Where are the verifiable stats to back this up?
{2} Where are the stats to back this up also? And, the supposed stats don't seem to include those civilians who by merely having the means of self defense [or not in the criminal's mind{?}] of "civillians" of either sex saved themselves a LOT of grief, if not murder? Typical slanted "statistics" of liars in order to pass laws to control YOU and NOT "guns". How IS Michigan's concealed carry law working out? Peace and love, George.

So far, so good.

It's a "VPC" study. The stats are BS. http://www.vpc.org/studies/unincont.htm
