The Self-Defense Myth:
In 1997, for every time that a civilian used a handgun to kill in self-defense, 43 people lost their lives in handgun homicides. (FBI Supplementary Homicide Report data, 1997)

Yeah that is technically true but sadly any idiot can buy a handgun in the U.S. The statistic is misleading because there is a ZERO PERCENT chance of my handguns being used for anything other than target or self-defense, and thats the statistic I am mainly worried about.
