Factual Sources:

Washington Post: “The statistical likelihood of any given public school student being killed by a gun, in school, on any given day since 1999 was roughly 1 in 614,000,000. And since the 1990s, shootings at schools have been getting less common.”

National Review: “The Australian gun-homicide rate had already been quite low and had been steadily falling in the 15 years prior to the Port Arthur massacre. And while the mandatory buyback program did appear to reduce the rate of accidental firearm deaths, Baker and McPhedran found that ‘the gun buy-back and restrictive legislative changes had no influence on firearm homicide in Australia.’”

PolitiFact: “Among those surveyed who had purchased a gun within the previous two years, only 13 percent said they had done so without a background check.”

Institute of Medicine: “Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million… in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms.”
