I saw a report out of Chitown that had the stats at 500,000 to 2,000,000 but they did not name the source. They also said that the number is likely much higher due to nonreporting for a variety of reasons. Me thinks that if locales were to publish their local data it "just may" reduce the crime an iota as most accosters want a victim not a defender.Defensive gun use between 60,000 and 2.5 million is a pretty good spread. I can see how an anti-gun group could argue that the data was flawed. I have no idea how one would go about verifying good data, but hopefully maybe somebody like Hillsdale College will undertake the job. I'm sure the government would not fund the study, but maybe the NRA and folks like us could.
My thoughts exactly.I'm still trying to figure how shooting, or being shot at qualifies as a disease?
"[T]hat 2.5 Million number needs to be killed, buried, dug up, killed again and buried again," Mark Bryant, executive director of the Gun Violence Archive, wrote to the CDC in one of the emails. "It is highly misleading, is used out of context and I honestly believe it has zero value.
Let us not forget Tammy Duckworth. These two are the most rabid anti-gunners in service. Tammy once wrote back to me, she stated I was too stupid to understand the dangers in owning firearms and how she was much more intelligent in the matter. I had to walk away from my computer or the secret police would have thrown me in the dungeons.Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., reportedly facilitated the meeting through his office.
Well said. When a Government Organization becomes a political tool, then it really doesn't serve a purpose for taxpayers, even if initially it did.Let us not forget Tammy Duckworth. These two are the most rabid anti-gunners in service. Tammy once wrote back to me, she stated I was too stupid to understand the dangers in owning firearms and how she was much more intelligent in the matter. I had to walk away from my computer or the secret police would have thrown me in the dungeons.
Yes the CDC is now doing the anti's bidding!!
As for the "zero" value, that's laughable. Plain and simple it goes against the plan so it needs destroyed so their fictitious numbers well remain.
