That study doesn't mean that guns are bad security. They obviously lead to more gun related suicides, and can turn domestic fights more violent. However, if you are at high risk of being attacked (if you are a criminal defense attorney or a minor YouTube celebrity), the risk of being assaulted is different from the general population's.

Yes you're right about the different risk profile. I just hope most people that do not have such a risk profile are aware of this.
