Note...The figures for accidental gun deaths with children isn't out yet but 2013….under the age of 14…about 72…..How many intruders or owould be attackers were shot or even scared away by guns last year vs kids accidentally shot?
Maybe its the media but I hear more of the latter anymore. Get me some stats please.
That is your best bet. Otherwise gun rights sounds like a lofty libersl college ideal base on a 240 yesr old war.
All accidental gun deaths in 2013… 505
All gun murders (including children) … 8,454
crimes stopped by law abiding citizens using guns… on average 2 million a year.
Even if that 2 million is off by 2 orders of magnitude...
20,000 crimes stopped compared to 9000 deaths.
I would not want it to be that close of a crime vs death ratio.
It's not….again, the lowest figure is 764,000 gun murders stopped to 8,454 gun murders. And the actual average number of crimes stopped or prevented, 2 million.
