Here is some research on guns and women done by Harvard.
Women in states with many guns have elevated rates of unintentional gun deaths, suicides and homicide, particularly firearm suicides and firearm homicides.
The United States has the most firearms and U.S. women have far more likely to be homicide victims than women in other developed countries.

Another piece of pseudo-science from Hemenway and friends eh?
You supposedly were convinced about gun ownership a while back. Now you are falling back on your original beliefs.
Off topic, but maybe this will get M off his obsession with gun control.
As is the case with Social Security, the arithmetic doesn’t lie. People may, for ideological or short-term partisan political reasons, ignore the facts. But denial does not provide a sound basis for serious discussion. Neither of our two political parties, for reasons of their own, is eager to get into this conversation. The Republicans don’t want to take the lead because it will only exacerbate their already serious “brand” problems as a party out of touch with “average” Americans. Democrats don’t want to engage in the debate either because many in the party simply don’t believe the facts, or they don’t want to forfeit the political advantage the issue gives them at election time.
