1,500,000 times an American used a gun to stop a violent criminal
Never happens. sorry, you'd have to believe that 90% of all violent crimes are prevented by you guys waiving your compensation around.
I'm 55 years old. I know of this happening exactly NEVER to anyone I know. And I know a lot of gun owners. (Just not crazy ones like you who stock up like the Zombies are coming!)
On the other hand, I know of 3 deaths by gun (One murder and two suicides.)
Both obama's CDC and bill clinton's Department of Justice research into gun use in the United States say you are wrong ......obama's CDC spent 10 million dollars in 2013 looking at all of the current research and found that Americans use guns 500,000-3 million times a year to stop violent criminal attack....and back in the 1990s, bill the rapist and his Department of Justice found that Americans used guns 1,500,000 times a year......so two anti gun Presidents say you are wrong joe......
And those are just two studies researching the topic of gun self defense...here are a bunch of others and they all say you are wrong...
Nothing you say about guns in this Country is based in the truth, facts or reality.....
Self defense with a gun......40 years of actual research...first is the name of the group that conducted the research, then the year, then the number of defensive gun uses and finally wether the research contained police or military defensive gun uses....
A quick guide to the studies and the numbers.....the full lay out of what was studied by each study is in the links....
