Yet the statistics are based almost entirely on the fact "people are more likely to commit suicide with a gun if they own a gun".sorry for being misleading.
40 times more likely is wrong.
it is actually 43 times more likely that you kill yourself or a loved one rather than an intruder:
for every self-defense homicide via firearm, there were 43 suicides, criminal homicides, or accidental gunshot deaths.[11]

Don't be obtuse, even quickly running the numbers in your head you should see what I'm saying is correct.
