Thanks for sharing. There are more of these than we know - they don't receive the hype that the other stories do...

Statistics show far more lives are saved each year by good guys with guns than bad guys killing innocent people.

I suspect that most of the folks here understand this. The problem is that huge portions of the population never hear that message - because the agenda within the mainstream media is to paint the exact opposite picture.

Unfortunately it appears that pro-gun organizations tend to focus on speaking to pro-gun people - and us pro-gun folks, while we tend to support their efforts, are not the ones that need to be reached.

Any stat report links to corroborate that statement?

There are more, many more, stat sources, but they are tough to find. Why would that be.......A few years ago, I dug a bunch up, ill see if I can remember where they hid them.

Cmoor's statement is on target:

Citizens use their firearms between 500,000 and 3 million times each year

Some folks say they're "pro gun", but, when you ask them it's all about, but, you don't need this or that, or, I believe in the 2A but...................... I know of many demonrats who own guns, hell, look at the other board with AZ in the title. Lots of commies got guns, but they're certainly not "pro gun", nor pro rights. FUDDS is what we generally call them, they own a shotgun and a rifled scope and perceive that to be what the 2A is about.

Thanks for the above references. I also remember reading FBI stats several years ago supporting the same thing. I heard when other countries like England and Australia started doing their bans the homicide rate went up even though homicides by guns went down. Bottom line if homicide rates went up you were more likely to die. Does the method really matter to the dead person or their loved ones? Guns are not the problem. Modern sporting rifles are only a threat to animals and tyrants.

Agreed - FUDDS pretend to be something they are not, the type to attack you from behind when you are not looking.

My point is that he needs to show his evidence for his statement. Not up to me to do his research.
