homicides avoided because the intended victim had the means to protect himself and his family

A fave talking point. It'd be nice if accurate data was compiled that would illustrate how may of the burglars did their break and enters with AR15s vs those who broke armed with nothing but a drug habit that needed to be fed quickly. I seem to recall pressure by a political party to defund helpful research on firearm statistics. Oh well.

Care to comment on drunk driving fatalities?

On average over the 10-year period from 2011-2020, about 10,500 people died every year in drunk-driving crashes.

Self-defense? The police certainly cannot do it.
