I think it makes sense to want a study that controls for gun training and intelligence, I don't think it makes sense to reject data based conclusions due to anecdotal disagreement. My understanding is that a lot of those self-inflicted wounds are suicide attempts, which one would not expect to be influenced by firearm proficiency (except perhaps in success rate).
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoit would be affected by someones predisposition to depression and suicidal ideation though right? I tell you what - I will never commit suicide, and I will never accidentally harm myself with a gun. No amount of "studies" about the average gun owner are going to change those facts. You are rejecting reality by deferring to expertise.
