I'd be interested to see that study, but I'm more interested in handguns. I'm not a gun owner. I don't see the point. But I have friends who own handguns. Family members who own them too. Let's say there are 20,000,000 legally owned handguns in the U.S., how many of them were used to defend a home in 2006?
