I need studies that counter his claim about it being more dangerous to fight back with a gun.


The only thing I was able to find is http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/cdc-study-use-firearms-self-defense-important-crime-deterrent. From there, you can link to the actual CDC study, which is a 200+ page e-book ($38)

Some highlights:

QuoteThe report expresses uncertainty about gun control measures, stating that "whether gun restrictions reduce firearm-related violence is an unresolved issue," and that there is no evidence "that passage of right-to-carry laws decrease or increase violence crime." It also stated that proposed  "gun turn-in programs are ineffective." 

QuoteThe CDC's findings - that guns are an effective and often used crime deterrent and that most firearm incidents are not fatal - could affect the future of gun violence research...

And most of the rest of it is about how education and technology are more important in reducing fire arm related accidents than legal restrictions.
