An unpublished Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study confirms Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck’s findings of more than two million defensive handgun uses (DGUs) per year.
Since the early 1990s, Kleck has maintained that there is a minimum of 760,000 DGUs annually. That is his low estimate; Kleck and research partner Marc Gertz have contended the actual number is closer to 2.5 million.
Kleck reaffirmed his numbers on February 17, 2015, explaining that while plenty of naysayers have criticized his findings, none have been able to offer empirical evidence to counter them.

CDC us not about big pharma, although with vacinnes they are allies. CDC is about totalitarianism .
The left that controls 80% of the press, are amazingly effective at omitting very important facts while focusing on only that which advances their particular ideological agenda.
We have to get better at learning the facts and sneaking people on their shows to make them look like ideological fools.
