Almost every major study on the issue has found that Americans use their firearms in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times annually, according to the latest report on the subject by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Just this year, a more comprehensive study concluded that roughly 1.6 million defensive gun uses occur in the United States every year.
For this reason, The Daily Signal each month publishes an article highlighting some of the previous month’s many news stories on defensive gun use that you may have missed—or that might not have made it to the national spotlight in the first place. (Read other accounts here from 2019, 2020, 2021, and so far in 2022.)
The examples below represent only a fraction of the news stories on defensive gun use that we found in October. You may explore more by using The Heritage Foundation’s interactive Defensive Gun Use Database. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news organization.)
Here's some good news for a change. Also, another reminder that a heavily armed society is a safer society, notwithstanding the propaganda from the DNC and their media lapdogs.
Far more of the US public would appreciate the use of guns for self defense if the mainstream media reported it honestly. There would be so many stories, a lot of anti-gunners would be begin to see their utility and question their inherent risk to gun owners.
