Guns, They're Not Just For Democratic Party Fund-Raising Anymore

Never were, never just for that purpose. Though, a critical observer these days would be forgiven for thinking they were. A critical observer would be forgiven,...

Did you hear that our Government, specifically the CDC has been keeping from the public the rate of defensive use of firearms versus the much smaller rate of rate by offenders? Not widely reported.

The final adjusted prevalence of 1.24% therefore implies that in an average year during 1996–1998, 2.46 million U.S. adults used a gun for self-defense. This estimate, based on an enormous sample of 12,870 cases (unweighted) in a nationally representative sample, strongly confirms the 2.5 million past-12-months estimate obtained Kleck and Gertz (1995)….CDC’s results, then, imply that guns were used defensively by victims about 3.6 times as often as they were used offensively by criminals.
The quote is taken from a Daily Caller article, (linked here).

Our Government, here to help us, right?
