Every year, an average of 9,200 Americans are murdered by handguns, according to Department of Justice statistics. This does not include suicides or the tens of thousands of robberies, rapes and assaults committed with handguns.
And according to the same DoJ crime statistics over 2,700,000 crimes each year are prevented by civilians having firearms.
Stats for how many crimes are prevented by guns are highly flawed.

232,000 guns are stolen each year. That's a pretty good source for crime. So are owners really doing more against or for crime? Supplying them with 232,000 guns a year is certainly helping crime.
