My favorite is the studies showing gun owning homes are much more dangerous to the gun owners and other family members/occupants.
The only thing that seem to live forever (besides temporary govt measures) is flawed BS anti gun data. The old "43 times more likely to be killed by your own gun than kill an intruder" is still being parroted (though they do change the percentage number sometimes), from the Kellerman study that was debunked as flawed decades ago.

You are entirely correct about the amount of risk guns pose to non-criminal gun owners and users. But those numbers don't scare people, and in fact, work against the anti gunner's agenda, so you only hear them from our side of the issue.
