Have you not seen 2aguy? He will tell you everyone needs a gun at all times.
A woman can do everything a man can. Not aware of anyone saying they should not have the option. They should be aware however that for many people having a gun just makes them more likely to have an accident like the shot in back woman, Walmart woman shot dead by her kid, or woman with bra holster who shot herself dead. Most people in this country have no need for a gun.
There are also people in jail who thought they had a lawful defense. Lot of responsibility with guns.
Yes....1,500,000 Americans used guns to stop a violent criminal attack according to bill clinton and barak obama...their Department of Justice and CDC studies...........those 1,500,000 people needed their guns....but they just didn't know they did until the attack happened....
vs.
357,000,000 million guns in private hands....
1,500,000 defensive gun uses...
19,000 non fatal gun accidents..
505 accidental gun deaths...
Gee....I wonder what number is bigger?
And you are lying. The CDC did not do a study. Your 1.5 is fantasy. But yes 19,000 injured in accidents and 500 killed. Compare to other countries with fewer guns, lower crime rates, and almost no accidents.
The CDC studied all of the research.....try that again...the CDC studied all the research on guns and found between 500,000 and 3,000,000 defensive gun uses each year......and they did this under orders from obama...who gave them 10 million dollars to do it in 2013.....
And the 1,500,000 is not a fantasy and it is not my number....it comes from bill clinton's Department of Justice study on defensive gun use.......complain to him.
Why do you insist on being so dishonest? You have been corrected on this many times.
* The CDC report made no effort to reconcile the differing estimates of DGUs, except to note that the estimate provided by the Kleck group was larger by an order of magnitude than the estimate arising from the NCVS. The CDC report noted that the estimate of DGU provided by the Kleck group is twice again as large as the estimate of the Dept. of Justice that there are 1.3 million crimes committed with a gun in the USA every year.
To make this easier...even for you brain....here are the actual studies...
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)....
