Gun owners not likely to use firearms for self-defense, study claims

57. You are the one who is dodging.

Like I said, this has been studied extensively, something that internet gun nuts don't seem to understand. The CDC report did come up with an estimated range for the number of DGUs, which was based on the various surveys performed on the topic. The CDC did not find that:
1) carrying or owning a gun actually makes a person safer
2) that the reported DGUs are all actually "defensive" and the person claiming them actually had a better outcome than they would have had if they had done something else besides use a gun in self defense
3) that the net effect on society, when taking into account both DGUs and criminal gun uses is beneficial

The NRA selectively picks certain parts of the report, and you come here and repeat what the NRA told you. And that's why you need to dodge the points that I bring up. Because the NRA didn't tell you about them, and so you don't have an answer.
