A study that examined the risk factors for violent death for women in
the home found that when there were one or more guns in the home, the
risk of suicide among women increased nearly five times and the risk
of homicide increased more than three times. The increased risk of
homicide associated with firearms was attributable to homicides at the
hands of a spouse, intimate acquaintance, or close relative.

Tell all your liberal buddies to get rid of their guns, and not to buy any more. That'll solve a lot
of the problem.

My liberal buddies comprise a much smaller percentage of gun ownership
than your conservative buddies. It just furthers the argument (being
made very well by so many in the conservative quarter) that
conservatives hold women in low regard, including their wives.

The numbers don't lie. More women die from both self-inflicted
gunshots and are murdered at a higher rate in households that have
guns.

More women died riding in Teddy Kennedy's car than have been injured, wonded or killed by any
firearms I may or may not posses.
