Washington Post. Download references. Using data from a national random-digit-dial telephone survey conducted under the direction of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, we investigated how and when guns are used in the home.

We found that guns in the home are used more often to frighten intimates than to thwart crime; other weapons are far more commonly used against intruders than are guns. Azrael, Deborah R; Hemenway, David. In the safety of your own home: Results from a national survey of gun use at home.

Social Science and Medicine. Adolescents are far more likely to be threatened with a gun than to use one in self-defense.

We analyzed data from a telephone survey of 5, California adolescents aged years, which asked questions about gun threats against and self-defense gun use by these young people. We found that these young people were far more likely to be threatened with a gun than to use a gun in self-defense, and most of the reported self-defense gun uses were hostile interactions between armed adolescents. Males, smokers, binge drinkers, those who threatened others and whose parents were less likely to know their whereabouts were more likely both to be threatened with a gun and to use a gun in self-defense.

We found that one in four of these detainees had been wounded, in events that appear unrelated to their incarceration. Most were shot when they were victims of robberies, assaults and crossfires.

Using data from surveys of detainees in six jails from around the nation, we worked with a prison physician to determine whether criminals seek hospital medical care when they are shot. You fire.

In an instant, the gun is demystified. You buy a box of ammunition and shoot it all. Then you buy another box. Your thought-process starts to change. Next, you realize that you want that sense of safety to travel with you. So you sign up for a concealed-carry permit class. You gather one night with friends and neighbors and spend the next eight hours combining a self-defense class with a dash of world-view training. And as your worldview changes, you expand your knowledge.

You learn that people defend themselves with guns all the time , usually without pulling the trigger. You share the stories and your own experience with your friends, and soon they walk into gun stores. At the end of this process, your life has changed for the better.

You feel a sense of burning conviction that you, your family, and your community are safer and freer because you own and carry a gun. Instead, they tend to believe that government regulation should have two purposes—deny guns to the dangerous while protecting rights of access for the law-abiding.

The formula is simple: Criminals and the dangerously mentally ill make our nation more violent. Law-abiding gun owners save and protect lives. Many gun-rights supporters were appalled to learn after the Sutherland Springs shooting that the military was systematically underreporting disqualifying convictions to the federal background check database. Under pressure, the military has added more than 4, new names in just three months. People who want to stop murders are compared to terrorists.

People who want to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands are compared to mass shooters.
