A California Superior Court judge arrested last week has now been charged with killing his wife in front of their adult son at their home. Court filings reveal the judge had over 47 weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.

    That is a different statement. It’s saying abusers can be more dangerous with a weapon. It does not follow that people who own a weapon are somehow more likely to be an abuser.

    To make that argument it would need to say something about what percentage of gun owners commit abuse or some kind violent crime.

    You can find higher rates of domestic violence among cops for instance so maybe you could argue cops are more likely to be abusers.
