Your figures are 50 years old in some cases and cant be verified anyway.I cant be arsed going over it with you.Vagabond63 has debunked his figures many time on here Harry. he will be along at some point to do it again.to him he did back them up.....its up to you to disprove his "facts".....your the one who said that to him not me...apparently you dont have better source either do you?...so does he have to use your anti gun sites?...
Link us to your 1.1 mil claim please - Studies by your beloved (and corrupt) NRA or other barrel stoker sites unacceptable
Nope, just a source to prove he didn’t pull 1.1 million butt nuggets out of his prodigious ass.
You got one?
No one can disprove an ass nugget Harry my boy.
Up to him to back up those with FACTS.
1.1m?
No, he hasn't....he says ..."I debunk thy numbers...." and then goes away.......I have shown the research from the Centers for Disease Control, and the Department of Justice, two anti-gun government agencies....
The main research was done in the 90s by Gary Kleck, followed by the Centers for Disease Control, and the Department of Justice, under orders by bill clinton to disprove Kleck's research.......and they couldn't...
And at the time in the 90s there were 200 million guns in private hands and only 4.7 million Americans carrying guns in public for self defense...
Now?
There are 600 million guns and over 19.4 million Americans carrying guns in public for self defense...so tell us how the defensive gun use numbers from the 90s went down as more Americans were able to protect themselves......go ahead, we'll be over here laughing at you...
Yes.....actual research, with obama telling the CDC to go through all gun research in 2013....and coming up with 500,000-3 million defensive gun uses...
You guys can't hide the research....
So somewhere between 500,000 and three million?
Are you really this dumb...I gave you 17 studies...obama's CDC reviewed all of the gun research......you idiot.....
Cool, but you’ve yet to define an instance of “defensive use” ... You clown
And the Department of Justice research under bill clinton....conducted by two, rabid, anti-gunners...
The NSPOF survey is quite similar to the Kleck and Gertz instrument and provides a basis for replicating their estimate.
Each of the respondents in the NSPOF was asked the question, "Within the past 12 months, have you yourself used a gun, even if it was not fired, to protect yourself or someone else, or for the protection of property at home, work, or elsewhere?"
Answers in the affirmative were followed with "How many different times did you use a gun, even if it was not fired, to protect yourself or property in the past 12 months?" Negative answers to the first DGU question were followed by "Have you ever used a gun to defend yourself or someone else?" (emphasis in original).
Each respondent who answered yes to either of these DGU questions was asked a sequence of 30 additional questions concerning the most recent defensive gun use in which the respondent was involved, including the respondent's actions with the gun, the location and other circumstances of the incident, and the respondent's relationship to the perpetrator. Forty-five respondents reported a defensive gun use in 1994 against a person (exhibit 7).
Given the sampling weights, these respondents constitute 1.6 percent of the sample and represent 3.1 million adults.
============
A somewhat more conservative NSPOF estimate is shown in the column of exhibit 7 that reflects the application of the criteria used by Kleck and Gertz to identify "genuine" defensive gun uses.
Respondents were excluded on the basis of the most recent DGU description for any of the following reasons: the respondent did not see a perpetrator; the respondent could not state a specific crime that was involved in the incident; or the respondent did not actually display the gun or mention it to the perpetrator.
Applying those restrictions leaves 19 NSPOF respondents (0.8 percent of the sample), representing 1.5 million defensive users.
This estimate is directly comparable to the well-known estimate of Kleck and Gertz, shown in the last column of exhibit 7. While the NSPOF estimate is smaller, it is statistically plausible that the difference is due to sampling error.
========
Some troubling comparisons.
If the DGU numbers are in the right ballpark, millions of attempted assaults, thefts, and break-ins were foiled by armed citizens during the 12- month period. According to these results, guns are used far more often to defend against crime than to perpetrate crime. (Firearms were used by perpetrators in 1.07 million incidents of violent crime in 1994, according to NCVS data.)

Yes indeed - consolidate in order to have more barrel stoking c&p’s for immediate regurgitation!

I have had a GUT FULL of blacks and browns. I have a LIFETIME of paid up dues dealing with blacks and browns. The best thing is let them kill one another and keep them away from civilization.Take a closer look at Anaheim and Santa Ana. SA has gotten gang infested. Where I am is fine because no blacks or hispanics live here. We have whites and Asians.i lived there for 50 years and i dont agree with that.....No. But parts of Orange County are as bad as LA.what does that have to do with what i said?....did this happen in LA like sloop said it did?....Orange county isn't what it used to be. The people are getting more and more violent. And, expecting punishment less and less.it happened in the city of Orange in Orange County.....not LA.......Tommy. This is in South LA. One of the worst shit holes in America known to man. This is MAXINES DISTRICT I BELIEVE. Why don't you write to that Neanderthal and tell her.Oh wait..She lives in a 5 million dollar spread not even near her district.......................LOLOLBoy, 6, shot and killed after mum gave another driver the finger on school-run

My sons were raised in a house with a significant number of firearms.
They never shot themselves, each other or anybody else. The reason is because I took prudent safety precautions. No loaded firearm was ever left lying around. The boys did not have access to loaded firearms because the firearms were stored unloaded in a locked gun safe.
Even when they were teenagers and had learned to shoot and be safe I didn't give them the combination to the gun safe because I didn't want their friends having access to the firearms and doing something stupid.
That's a good way to get rid of all the idiots. Don't let them breed.That kid could have just as easily drank some Drano.Boy, 6, shot and killed after mum gave another driver the finger on school-run
