1) I am NOT saying this: "So you are saying of the 15,000 (give or take) gun related homicides each year, most of the killers took the victim's gun from them while the victim was trying to defend themselves and shot them with it?" What I am saying is that where a person, mainly women, own a gun for personal protection, they are more likely than not killed with their own weapon. Sometimes from an offender, often times their significant other in a domestic dispute, and other times its accidental, or a child, etc. Some are homicides, some are accidental gun deaths. In the homicides it is often someone they know, like an abusive boyfriend/husband, less frequently it is just a random stranger. How many of all homicides are this, I do not know, thats not the claim I am making.
2)The claim of yours I take issue with, is this one, "You have between 10,000 to 20,000 murdered by firearms each year, however you have an estimated 500,000 to 3,000,000 who defend themselves from violence or death each year with firearms." I'm wondering where you came up with this number of 500k-3m people using their guns to defend themselves from some violent attack, each year. You then linked to that article, which I thought was supporting this claim. Maybe it was supporting a different claim you made, or maybe I'm interpreting what you said wrong. But the number I'm curious about is this 500k-3m number you stated.
3) Reading what you just quoted, I find it hard to believe that defensive gun use annually is 500k-3m. Or that offensive gun use is similar. First off, this is a massive range. Second, there are, on the top end, 30k gun homicides annually. Thats no where near 500k, much less 3m. Even when you throw in non homicide gun crime, it doesnt approach these numbers. This needs more explaining, because the numbers simply don't add up. There is no way that there are 500k-3m gun incidents a year, and only, at most, 30k deaths from those incidents.
4) Youre focused too much on me saying deadly attack. Violence, death, whatever, I still find it hard to believe these numbers are accurate.
