\"Atlantic
David Frum, in all his glory.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most anti-gun activists are content to disarm law-abiding Americans through the legislatures and the courts. Ban schemes, confiscation campaigns, and \u201cbuy back\u201d crusades are the tools of their trade, and they\u2019ve used these unconstitutional laws and strategies to great effect in states across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Atlantic<\/em> writer David Frum has a better idea. What if, instead of taking America\u2019s guns by force, we convince gun owners to give up their guns willingly? Rather than disarmament, Frum suggests self-disarmament<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea might sound laughable, but as Frum points out, campaigns targeting drunk drivers have done much in the last 40 years to stigmatize driving drunk. Never mind that driving drunk is irresponsible while the right to own a gun is enshrined in our nation\u2019s founding document. Frum wants a cultural revolution, and he believes he has the data to justify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guns, Frum argues, are dangerous<\/em>. \u201cIn virtually every way that can be measured, owning a firearm makes the owner, the owner\u2019s family, and the people around them less<\/em> safe,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe weapons Americans buy to protect their loved ones are the weapons that end up being accidentally discharged into a loved one\u2019s leg or chest or head. The weapons Americans buy to protect their young children are years later used for self-harm by their troubled teenagers. Or they are stolen from their car by criminals and used in robberies and murders. Or they are grabbed in rage and pointed at an ex-partner.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It takes a few paragraphs, but eventually Frum gets to some hard data. Those accidental discharges he mentions in the paragraph above? According to Frum, those account for about 500 deaths a year. These deaths are tragic, certainly, but they represent .00001% of gun owners in the United States. Frum also doesn\u2019t cite his sources for this stat, and given the history of anti-gun activists<\/a>, his number is likely inflated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He quickly moves to suicides. It\u2019s true that guns are among the most lethal means of committing suicide, and 2\/3rds of \u201cgun deaths\u201d are from suicide. But the studies that claim guns increase the risks of suicide rely on large-scale state-level data that is also influenced by a host of other factors. The states with the most guns might see more suicides, but many of those areas also lack easy access to medical and psychiatric care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As even the authors of the study Frum cites admit, there is a \u201cdearth of data\u201d on this topic: \u201cIn the U.S., government officials don\u2019t even have current data on where household gun ownership rates are higher or lower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frum relies heavily on anecdotal evidence to make his argument. He mentions grandparents who found their granddaughter dead from a gunshot wound, a man who went to prison after shooting someone over a parking space, and a parent who found their teenage son after he took his own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, two can play at that game. If you read GunsAmerica regularly, you<\/a> know<\/a> how<\/a> often <\/a>law-abiding <\/a>Americans<\/a> use<\/a> guns<\/a> to save<\/a> their<\/a> lives<\/a>. Even Frum admits that estimates of self-defense gun use range from 60,000 per year to 2.5 million. He dismisses these numbers as the result of faulty surveys, but even the median of this range is exponentially greater than the number of \u201cgun deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this dissuades Frum, of course. He ends his diatribe like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou want to be a protective spouse, a concerned parent, a good citizen, a patriotic American? Save your family and your community from danger by getting rid of your weapons, and especially your handguns. Don\u2019t wait for the law. Do it yourself; do it now. Do it because you just bought your first home, do it because you just got married, do it because you just had the baby you cherish more than anything in this world. The gun you trust against your fears is itself the thing you should fear. The gun is a lie.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s only one liar here, Mr. Frum, and it isn\u2019t the millions of law-abiding gun owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
