Sorry, but the Truth is Anti-gun

It seems that yet another review of 15 credible studies on this matter of gun violence has decided it is correct that what most gunloons keep denying: that having a gun in the house is more dangerous for the people who own the gun than anyone else, such as a criminal.  In other words, Having guns in the home triples the risk of suicide and doubles the risk of homicide, researchers reported on Monday.
The bad news:
Andrew Anglemyer and colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, trolled through studies that had already been done to see if they could clarify the association between gun ownership and violent death. They found 14 studies that found the odds of suicide went up by anywhere from 1.5 times to 10-fold if people had access to guns. Experts say this is partly because guns are far deadlier than other suicide methods, such as taking pills, which may not succeed.
Studies looking at homicide found that if people had access to guns, they were two to three times more likely to be killed themselves.
“Firearms cause an estimated 31,000 deaths annually in the United States,” they wrote in their report, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. “Data from the 16-state National Violent Death Reporting System indicate that 51.8 percent of deaths from suicide in 2009 were firearm-related; among homicide victims, 66.5 percent were firearm-related.”
Nevermind, the "pro-gun" forces will just have to make sure reliable studies are not funded.
After all, the truth is "anti-gun".
The best part of this article:
“Obtaining a firearm not only endangers those living in the home but also imposes substantial costs on the community.”
