I never get tired of posting these 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....
GunCite-Gun Control-How Often Are Guns Used in Self-Defense
GunCite Frequency of Defensive Gun Use in Previous Surveys
Field...1976....3,052,717
DMIa 1978...2,141,512
L.A. TIMES...1994...3,609,68
Kleck...2.5 million
Obama's CDC....2013....500,000--3million

Lawerence Southwich Jr. 400,000 fewer violent crimes and at least 800,000 violent crimes deterred..
NCVS (National Crime Victimization Survey)....108,000
Notice, the 3 different groupings of stats from the research listed so far.....not one of them approaches the NCVS number of 100,000
The NCVS is the only one that wouldn't include lots of criminals defending against criminals.
Neither study gives an incentive for criminals to respond....since the Kleck study is an anonymous person asking people about gun use....a criminal, who is legally unable to touch a gun...is not going to tell someone they don't know, who knows their home address via their phone number, that they committed multiple felonies......by touching a gun and using it, even in self defense.........
I'm not sure what you are trying to say there. But it's common sense that most defenses are by criminals. They are armed and living in high crime areas. The guy committing robbery in monday is the same guy defending on Tuesday. And kleck admits most are involved in criminal activity.
No Brain, they are not....they do not respond to these studies....strangers calling them on the phone asking them if they have used a gun for self defense....multiple felonites for a convicted criminal to admit to ....to a stranger who has their phone number and thru that number their address and who they are.......
And the "criminal activity" Kleck admits to....law abiding citizens carrying guns for self defense....without paperwork.....those are who he specifically references....not gang members, not armed robbers....normal people who are carrying a gun for self defense who may not have the right paperwork......
Post a link that shows they do not respond to studies. Kleck has said most defenders are involved in criminal activity. Sounds like they respond to surveys.
