if two parent families are safer than one parent families, why wouldnt four or five parent families provide even more safety???
women with men are a lot more likely to get shot; so arguably single women families where the women keep men out of their lives would REDUCE gun violence….

Guns and domestic violence are a lethal combination – injuring and killing women every day in the
United States. A gun is the weapon most commonly used in domestic homicides. In fact, more than
three times as many women are murdered by guns used by their husbands or intimate acquaintances
than are killed by strangers’ guns, knives or other weapons combined.i Contrary to many public
perceptions, many women who are murdered are killed not by strangers but by men they know.
• Nearly one-third of all women murdered in the United States in recent years were murdered by
a current or former intimate partner. In 2000, 1,247 women, more than three a day, were killed
by their intimate partners.ii
• Of females killed with a firearm, almost two-thirds of were killed by their intimate partners.iii
• Access to firearms increases the risk of intimate partner homicide more than five times more
than in instances where there are no weapons, according to a recent study.
