It doesn't seem possible to post actual statistics from articles, but here is a link to a public health professor's page with information about some studies on handguns and injuries.
David Hemenway at Harvard's page
"Firearm injuries are a current focus of Dr. Hemenway's research. In the United States, almost 90 people per day are killed with guns. Yet comparatively little research has been directed toward understanding and reducing gun injuries. Dr. Hemenway is studying the effects of gun carrying; how guns are stored and whether training can improve storage practices; the external costs and benefits of gun ownership; the use of guns in self-defense; gun use among adolescents; guns on college campuses; the relationship between gun prevalence and homicide, suicide and unintentional gun deaths; and the effects of changes in the legal drinking age on youth violence. "
Hemenway is an economist. Anon because I know him personally.
