Try to post like an intelligent person.....
Says the idiot who believes there are 5000 DGU each and every day of the year. But he can't ******* PROVE what he claims.
All he can do is point to a discredited survey done 20 years ago by a president who is hated by gun nutters. Except that this discredited survey was done when Clinton was in office.
You really have to be stupid to believe 5000 DGUs happen every day. I mean really stupid.
Listen dumb ****.......
1) The study you point out was done by bill clinton's Department of Justice...they found 1,500,000 defensive gun uses.....it was never discredited.....
2) That isn't the only gun self defense study done.....
3) That isn't the only gun self defense study I link to...
moron.
For your sake, moron ....here they are again......they have been done by government agencies....they have been done by private researchers....and they all come out with high numbers.....moron..........you are the one talking out of your ass...not me....
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)....
