If you want to build a case on the same stuff that Gallop did, feel free. Don't mind the rest of us guffawing in the corner.

The one unaccounted metric is Defensive Gun Use. Both sides make their claims, including this so called study. Both spin like mad. The data is not collected nor is all of it collectable. Claims to the contrary by either side are lies...sort of like this study.

My story is that many years back my late wife shot and killed a home invader who was threatening to do the same to me. It was listed as a gun homicide, not self defense, though she was cleared.
