Owning Guns Puts People in Your Home at Greater Risk of Being Killed, New Study Shows

A new study shows that people living in homes with guns face substantially higher risks of being fatally assaulted.

Guns in the home increase the deadliness of both spousal violence and suicide. That much we know and of course makes sense.
This has nothing to do with mass shooting events.

What the reporting on most of these studies fail to disclose is what are the absolute risks of these events. For example, the risk of death in a car accident is much greater than the risk of being killed in your home by a gun (this is a hard to find statistic). But all these statistics lack perspective. Most gun deaths are suicide. Some geographic areas have much higher gun deaths than others. Violence among partners living together is not spread consistently over the population; more likely if living in an urban environment or in a rented unit for example. Overall victimization rate is around 1.2% for persons over the age of 12 (includes all categories).

If the shooter at FSU had a known history of mental health issues, then that ups the risk of access to guns dramatically mostly because of suicide. People with mental health issues should not be given easy access to guns if that is what happened. IMO, more honesty about gun violence would lead to better laws as to gun ownership and education.

The only road marker that currently exists that would allow anybody to act on a level that might have prevented this tragedy, i.e., taking the perpetrator into physical custody, would be an imminent, credible threat of harm to an identified target.

Given the perpetrator's on-campus behavior, he was almost certainly among the many "students of concerns" that are actively monitored by the university. Yet, there is very little action that the university can take to limit these students' ability to cause harm.

But the woman could have taken action, could she not?
