Americans use guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminal attack...and to save lives....according to bill clinton and barak obama...
FBI, who actually collected real data and didn't repeat bullshit reports, said only 47,000.
Since we have only 200 Justified homicides by civilians, I doubt the 47K number.
Hard to really believe you guys who talk about how you needs you some guns so you can shoots you some Negroes... er... criminals... yeah.. criminals, would have 1,500,000 opportunities to do so and would only manage to pull it off 200 times.
No...the FBI counts bodies at crime scenes, they don't do actual research..as you know since you have seen the dozen studies that look at defensive gun use over and over....
And they show you are wrong...
Self defense with a gun......40 years of actual research...first is the name of the group that conducted the research, then the year, then the number of defensive gun uses and finally wether the research contained police or military defensive gun uses....
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 ( no cops, military)
DMIa 1978...2,141,512 ( no cops, military)
L.A. TIMES...1994...3,609,68 ( no cops, military)
Kleck......1994...2.5 million ( no cops, military)
Obama's CDC....2013....500,000--3million

Journal of Quantitative Criminology--- 989,883 times per year."
(Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology,[17] U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.[18])

Ohio...1982...771,043
Gallup...1991...777,152
Tarrance... 1994... 764,036 (no cops, military)
Lawerence Southwich Jr. 400,000 fewer violent crimes and at least 800,000 violent crimes deterred..
*****************************************
If you take the studies from that Kleck cites in his paper, 16 of them....and you only average the ones that exclude military and police shootings..the average becomes 2 million...I use those studies because I have the details on them...and they are still 10 studies (including Kleck's)....
