I’ll give you a gun will increase the chance of it being later used in domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is the 2nd largest vector for murders, the first being involved in illicit activities (at least if you look at the break down of large cities who parse their homicide data that way.)
I don’t see how gun ownership could increase the likelihood of robbery. Unless there is a correlation with the neighborhoods where you feel like you need a gun are more likely to be the ones where you will get robbed.
Neither will owning a gun make it less likely you are robbed - it just gives you an option to defend yourself if you’re there. Where you live is the main indicator of the likelihood of robbery.
I guess that depends on how we define use. But they are also way more prevalent dangers that no one bats an eye at. No parent has ever said, “You can’t go to Timmy’s house, his parents own ladders/stairs.”
I don’t consider suicides malicious use. Malice is intent to do evil. People who commit suicide aren’t evil, they are committing self harm. People murdering others is malicious use. You’re right, most murder victims do know their murderer, and random crimes are much rarer.
You’re right, most gun deaths are suicides, and that is a different cause and set of risks than crime or accidents.
