There have been studies, such as the Kellerman study, that attempted to prove that you are more likely to be harmed if you posess a gun, but they have been shown to have used a very flawed methodology and were therefore quite misleading.
Well, it's not exactly the kind of thing that police departments and governments like to brag about, ya know?
School shootings are exceedingly rare. They just get a massive amount of media attention when they happen.
Hopefully you'll never be a victim. But then it only takes one time. I hope I never have to defend myself against an attacker. But if it ever does happen, I'd rather be as prepared as possible. I only get one life.
