This study and others like it are suppressed by those who have a vested interest in the popular narrative wherein guns and gun owners are inherently evil. Even the Pope has gotten in on the act: No gun owner can be a Christian and those who manufacture guns are among the most evil.

There is no such thing as "gun violence". What we are really talking is criminal violence. NO statistic shows that the mere presence of guns causes higher crime rates. Quite the opposite. The statistics bear it out, and I have seen it myself.
