Stop Lying to yourself About Being That “Good Guy With A Gun” by STEVE MARMEL

150. More about that stat.

While true, that stat needs to looked at more carefully. It is true that most people who are murdered are killed by someone they know. Guess what? Mafia members, gang members, pimps, prostitutes, johns, drug dealers, drug customers, drug suppliers, loan sharks, etc ALL KNOW EACH OTHER. In fact, Mafia hits are almost always by someone known to the victim. That's how they get close to the guy.

In family violence, normal happy couples don't just suddenly snap and kill in a fit of rage. There is ALWAYS a history of previous violence building up to the murder. Usually the gun is illegally owned. Women who live with violent criminals are in extreme danger and should get out.

When you subtract out the violent criminal crowd you aren't left with very many gun crimes. Some, but as the Texas stats show every year, very, very few previously law-abiding gun owners go bad.
