Quoted:

A gun is 17 times more likely to harm a member of your family than to kill an armed intruder!
1) Harm a member of your family. Not kill. Just harm.

Yep, it's true. Cleaning my M1A, bold slammed shut on my hand. I was HARMED by my gun.

Can't argue with facts. I am a victim.

Quoted:
From the GOA Fact Sheet:

Fact: A study claiming "guns more likely to kill you than help you" is a total fraud. Not surprisingly, the figure claiming one is three times more likely to be killed by one’s own gun is a total lie. The author of this study, Dr. Arthur Kellerman, refused to release the data behind his conclusions for years.148 Subsequently available evidence shows why Kellerman stonewalled for so long:

Alpine

That same Kellerman study also found you are 4 times more likely to be murdered if you rent vs. own your home. So using their logic, we could have a greater impact on the murder rate simply by buying everyone their own home. Rental units are more dangerous than guns.

Guns in MY home are 100% more likely to be used to protect me and my family against or repel home invaders that if they were not present.

Tell him to stick THAT statistic into the discussion.

This could totally be true if you leave your guns fully loaded with the safety off next to a open window that is partially hidden from the street by some large bushes in a poorly lit area in a bad neighborhood with a sign over your front door saying, "large quantities of cash stored here."
