The facts are very clear, if you have a handgun in the house it is far more likely to kill a member of the familly than stop an intruder. The NRA know this which is why they have lobbied for the CDC to stop research in this area - they do not like the facts.
And most people who die after jumping out of airplanes have (defective) parachutes. Therefore it is safer to jump out of airplanes without parachutes.
