Even the anti-gun Clinton administration estimated 1.5 million/year gun defense acts while other sources peg it closer to 2.5 million.
Somehow I doubt you would ever know these figures by watching the big news networks. |
You know both those numbers were from polls, right? You know that logic casts serious doubts on those numbers? The 2.5 million is due to a poll of 222 people extrapolated on the whole population. There are police reports for far less than 1% of those. And yes, not all will be reported, but in all these thwarted rapes and assaults, far less than 1 in 1000 report them? Come on mikey.
Edit: And while you seem to know my news watching habits, the reason that number isn't used is because it is bunk
