Thrawn,
That's another myth perpetuated by the anti-gun crowd. If that were the case, with over 200 million guns in the country, the death toll would be a lot higher. Most people killed by guns in their home are the classic victims of domestic violence. Police records show that most family murders don't just happen on a whim or the spur of the moment. On average the police have usually had to make an appearance at the victim's residence five times in response to domestic abuse complaints before they are
killed with the "family gun."
