In the very sad story the officer was not protected by his gun. The shooter who had just purchased a gun for protection will now lose his freedom. So who did the gun protect? Guns don't protect  or kill, people do.

You directly asserted that firearms do not protect anyone.

So again, I insist that you detail your facts and cite credible sources for those facts to support your assertion.

A recent New York Times graphic does a great job of visualizing a surprising statistic about the U.S.: that firearm deaths by suicide outnumber those by homicide.

I know you might feel these suicides were protected by their guns, but you'll have to tell me how. I insist.
