According to the Surgeon General, in a study on gun crime, conducted at the "request" of the current administration, between 1.5 and 3 million times a year people use guns to defend themselves against crime.
In another study by Florida State University in Tallahassee, Gary Kleck Ph.D. and Dr. Marc Gertz it was found that the figure was closer to 2.5 million times a year for people using guns to defend themselves against criminal attack.
The NRA had nothing to do with either of these surveys yet they prove the point that guns, in the hands of legal owners prevent or stop more crime in a single day than all the murders by guns in the USA in a year.

As far as the Founding Fathers were concerned they felt the main reason American citizens should be allowed to own and carry a gun was indeed for protection against what men turn into when given too much power.

Some of us would do well to think before we speak; think about where the framers of the Constitution were coming from.Liked it, I think he's right in most points, especially that the main purpose of having a gun isn't a need to protect, it's more like gun fetishism.
We all know it, but look. Modern gun fetishists that quote 2nd Amendment text always say that they have the gun rights but they add 'to defend my home'. Noone of fetishists say about militia that is necessary to the security of a free state, noone!As far as the Founding Fathers were concerned they felt the main reason American citizens should be allowed to own and carry a gun was indeed for protection against what men turn into when given too much power.
