Don Lemon says he is changing his tune because of a study he read in an article fromGuns & Ammo Magazine, "It just might make you rethink your stance, your view, on the issue," said Lemon. "It did for me. It's making me rethink it."

So, what, exactly did this apparently transformational study claim? Here are just a few of the bullet points, as assembled from:

1. Armed citizens are less likely to be injured by an attacker:

2. Defensive uses of guns are common:

3. Mass shootings and accidental firearm deaths account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths, and both are declining

Lemon continued and went on to say:

"If our lawmakers, including the President, won't step up and make significant changes in gun laws, in gun registration, background checks, mental health, if gun purchases continue to grow and flood the streets, it makes me wonder that by some of us not owning a gun, or at least embracing the idea of one, are we setting ourselves up to be victims in a movie theater, a school, a public building, most of all in our streets, in our own neighborhoods, and in our own homes?," he asked.

"And armed with just our cellphones, our fists and our wits, are we setting ourselves up to be sitting ducks, defenseless in the face of a sane, or an insane person, armed to the teeth and bent on killing," Lemon added.
