Ninth Stage

You need not wonder why.

Kellerman’s numbers may have changed, but so have his terms.

The original (and debunked) quote was, “a gun owner is 43 times more likely to kill a family member than an intruder.” The new and improved quote is, “guns kept in the home were 12 times more likely to be involved in the death or injury of a member of the household than in the killing or wounding of a bad guy in self-defense.” This statistic is from a new study that is likely as “selective” as the original, debunked, study.

So, in the first Kellerman gives the (debunked) numbers for deaths v deaths. The new numbers are for death or injury v death or injury.

Also, who says that “bad guy’s” are never family members? Seems to me that those closest know better than strangers know who needs killin’.

The best thing to say to Arthur Kellermann is, “There’s no time left for you.”
