Research done in the US was
to survey some people having a firearm and analyse whether keeping it in home
will increase or decrease the risk of violent and even dead in home. They found
out that those who had a type of firearm in home has a greater chance of dying
from a homicide or by the gun itself at home that it was greater for males.
Also because of a careless gun keeping place.
About 40% of the US people claim that they
keep a gun for recreational purposes but other 60% of all homicides and
suicides in the US are committed with a gun.
