"A gun in the house is 43 times more likely to be used against
a resident than a "violent intruder".

OMG...you aren't seriously clinging to that old debunked "43 times more likely" claim are you? Did you miss the memo that the only way the author of that study arrived at that figure is by only counting defensive gun use in cases where an attacker was killed? When you factor in all the defensive gun use cases where an attacker was merely wounded or scared away by the display of a firearm, the figure is demolished. Much more credible studies have since been done by University of Florida professor Gary Kleck, who found that guns are used defensively about 2 million times per year, much more often than they are used in crime and in most cases without a shot even being fired.
