[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CDC reported as part of a 2013 study that:

“Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.“[/quote]

Here’s a thought:  search a few words and see what pops up.[/quote]

You make a claim- you provide the proof[/quote]

Stop being a petulant child.

Excerpted from CDC document:

Estimates of defensive gun use vary depending on the questions asked, populations studied, timeframe, and other factors related to the design of studies. The report Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violenceexternal icon [b]indicates a range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses[/b] each year.

There. You now have attribution. Now stop arguing like a 5 year old.

Well where’s the link to the first quote?
And according to the definition of defensive gun use by the CDC every gang shooting could be defined as defensive.[/quote]
