The story that gun owners defend themselves in numbers large enough to justify the tragic number of accidental gun deaths is
pure fantasy.
From Politico:
Despite having nearly no academic support in public
health literature, this myth is the single largest motivation behind gun
ownership. It traces its origin to a two-decade-old series of surveys
that, despite being thoroughly repudiated at the time, persists in
influencing personal safety decisions and public policy throughout the
United States.
