> Riding a car will greatly increase the odds of your death. So what? If you don't want you or a family member to become a firearms statistic don't own a gun, especially since owning one doesn't seem to be useful against strangers: > Results. We found no robust, statistically significant correlation between gun ownership and stranger firearm homicide rates. However, we found a positive and significant association between gun ownership and nonstranger firearm homicide rates. The incidence rate ratio for nonstranger firearm homicide rate associated with gun ownership was 1.014 (95% confidence interval = 1.009, 1.019). * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4167105/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4167105/
