That was the actual number from Bill clinton's Department Of Justice study...their actual number was 1.5 million times guns were used to stop or prevent violent criminal attack and save lives...and Bill clinton is no friend to gun ownership.
There was no such study. and frankly, it defies logic.
Let's look at the numbers of ACTUAL Violent crimes.
the reported crime rate is 300 crimes committed per 100,000 people.
Reported violent crime rate in the U.S. 1990-2013 Timeline
So for there to be 1.5 million crimes thwarted by "Good guys with guns', that would mean the attempted crime rate would be 1500 per 100,000 people.
Really? Seriously?
Or to put it another way, since only 200 'justifiable homicides" were committed with guns, that would mean that a gun was only fired 1 out of 7500 incidents.
So untrained gun owners apparently can show more restraint and judgement than the police.
No, really.
the reported crime rate...what don't you guys get...when you stop a criminal with a gun...and no shots are fired, and no one is injured...odds are it isn't reported as a crime because it wasn't completed....it was stopped...just like the 74 year old woman I posted about...she showed the robber her gun and he walked away....
And the other post where the old man was being beaten...the guy showed them his gun and they all left before the police arrived...including the old man getting beaten by his relative......
