You need a crime for a lawful dgu. The survey confirms a crime and then asks what happened. If there was a dgu it would obviously include them. It is also the only survey of any significant size. Your gun studies go right into guns and lead to many false positives.
Nope......a study where they do not actually ask about defensive gun use is not a defensive gun use study, the same way a study on juice consumption that never asks about juice consumption is not a juice consumption study......
You have a funny way of thinking brain........you can't help yourself....you were born that way...but please, let the adults handle the grown up issues.
It is a study of crime and what happens. They confirm a crime and then get the details which include dgu. And based on the results they estimate 108k. It is the only study of any significant size. Your gun studies are filled with unlawful defenses and intimidation.
Wrong..again. when you want to know about defensive gun use you ask directly about defensive gun use. the NCVS does not do that. it is not a gun study. On top of that it fails to accurately count crimes it specifically asks about, in particular sexual assault.....
so it is an a completely unreliable study even for what it was designed to do.
Really? Then why are all your gun studies so wildly off? From 500k to 3.5 million? Sorry but that isn't at all accurate. If it was an accurate way they would all arrive at similar numbers. Larger sample size is more accurate, and the ncvs makes the gun studies look tiny.
Brain...you suffer from Reality Dyslexia....you refuse to see the truth, the facts and the reality....you support a study that is not a defensive gun use study, and deny the findings of all the actual gun self defense studies conducted by actual researchers....
You are officially now a troll...
I just averaged the studies......which were conducted by different researchers, from both private and public researchers, over a period of 40 years looking specifically at guns and self defense....the name of the researcher is first, then the year then the number of times they determined guns were used for self defense......notice how many of them there are and how many of them were done by gun grabbers like the clinton Justice Dept. and the obama CDC
And these aren't all of the studies either...there are more...and they support the ones below.....
A quick guide to the studies and the numbers.....the full lay out of what was studied by each study is in the links....

If you take the studies from that Kleck cites in his paper, 16 of them....and you only average the ones that exclude military and police shootings..the average becomes 2 million...I use those studies because I have the details on them...and they are still 10 studies (including Kleck's)....
