And just as easily can go the other way.
People in homes with handguns more likely to be shot dead, major study finds
Researchers find ‘zero evidence of any kind of protective effects’, with women at particular riskwww.theguardian.com
Red Flag #4.........from your link......
Cohabitants of owners also had higher risks for dying by homicide outside the home.
This was an unexpected result, not clearly related to the handguns we used to define the exposure in our study, because California law generally requires firearms to be kept at home

Our study has several limitations. First, we could not determine whether the nonowners in our sample were killed by the actual handgun owners or handguns that defined them as exposed; this limitation is less relevant to homicides perpetrated by strangers and others with whom the deceased did not reside.
Second, some cohort members may have been misclassified as unexposed because, for example, they or their cohabitants acquired handguns unlawfully

Fourth, our results suggest that exposed cohort members also had higher risks for dying by nonfirearm homicide.
And this is why they don't bother looking at the make up of the people in the home.......because most of the shootings like this happen among criminals......or drug users....or alcoholics.....they do not want to look at normal people who own guns because normal people aren't shooting each other in their homes....
So....Jack.......you Chinese Communist pay masters will not be pleased with this poor attempt.....
