The NRA has been saying for over 25 years that there are between 1.25 - 2.5 million instances where a gun was used to stop a crime. In the overwhelming majority of these occurrences, it was only necessary to show or let the miscreants know that a gun was in the hands of a good guy/gal for crime prevention to take place.

Let’s have the names of the CDC employees who decided that this very important data would not be publicized. They put their leftist anti-gun politics above the public’s health.

The rabid anti-gunners will lie, mislead and downright falsify any contrary data.
They also have no problem having school children massacred in gun-free zones if it helps them achieve their wet dream of banning all guns and disarming Americans.

This statistic does NOT include the number of deterred potential crimes (crimes that did NOT occur) because the criminals suspected that the potential victim might have a gun. If criminals KNEW that their potential victims did not have quick access to a gun, the crime statistics would be MUCH worse. People who NOT have a gun in their home should be very thankful for the millions of people who DO have a gun in their homes. The criminals don’t know who has a gun and who doesn’t, and so are less likely to strike. Deterrence is the first, and perhaps the most important, step in the crime process.

Exactly why gun registration records should NOT be accessible to gov’t employees. Better yet, gun registration should be banned, but background check is OK by me to weed out past criminal behavior, but after passing the background check, no record should be kept of who owns guns and who does not.

And as I said before. I’m sure the government will be just as successful at keeping illegal guns from flooding the borders as they have been at keeping illegal aliens and illegal drugs out.

Thought CDC was barred from studying ....?

The CDC was never barred from
studying guns or gun violence. It was barred from taking sides in arguing for gun legislation. The CDC frequently takes positions arguing for immunizations and other controversial topics, as well as arguing for more money for less controversial topics.
How can you possibly be against funding a cure for an STD rather than arguing for abstinence outside marriage?
To: Cheerio
Ummm...me thinks the CDC buried the report. Not another dime to them for anything other that studying germs.

That would have been during the Clintonian years. Now they're probably running the place.

That does not even include defensive gun uses against animals....like attacking dogs for example.
