“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” she said, laughing. “I probably should not have said that. My staff will deal with that later.”

    Y’all are getting caught up on the word fear. The distinction is if someone takes actions that reduce their safety when they intend to increase it.

    They are right on average, but outliers do exist. Its not a guarantee of what will happen, but you do have to have some sort of logic to risk assessment.

    In my situation, its true a gun in my house increases risk, so I don’t have one. I’m sure some people have easily demonstrated needs for that type of protection, you should have to prove it first however.

    Sort of like vaccines, guns affect more than the person who has one, so its important to consider the risk to your community as well.
