For Immediate Release:

December 12, 2015

Did you know that at least five women die in America on a daily basis due to gun related murders? Did you know that even with the harshest gun control law, approximately 11,000 people in Mexico die from gun murders on an annual basis? Did you know that approximately 80% of both male and female gun owners declared that they felt safer through owning a gun?

The same research by Pew Foundation indicates that 64% of people that lived in homes in which the owners possessed a gun felt safe. What separates those who feel safe with guns from those who feel threatened by them? The difference between someone who benefits from and someone who loses to a gun lies in the person pulling the trigger, and not the gun itself.

Homework Help

A Centers for Disease Control report indicates that firearms were ranked 12th among the causes of death by homicide or suicide in the United States from around 1999 to 2013. As alarming as this information may be, the fact remains that the people responsible for pulling the trigger are more dangerous than the guns. If they have the motive to kill or cause harm, no presence or absence of a weapon will deter such people.
