Oh, man, another one. That statement is so farfetched it’s ludicrous. Someone has either badly misread a statement or we have a blatantly phony study again. I find it unlikely, though, that the FBI would risk its credibility by publishing phony stats so I think a lot more is unsaid than said.
For many years the NRA has collected newspaper articles from all over the country regarding citizens using a gun to defend themselves and they publish some in their monthly magazine. Overwhelmingly, no shots are fired; the mere presence of the gun stopped the activity in its tracks. The last issue notes that guns are used over two million times a year for personal protection. An incredible number, but they’re astute enough to also publish the source and date of the articles so the info is easily confirmed, to the chagrin of the opposition. Interestingly, I see many phony studies published but I never see the above info in the media and I wonder why.:)
