NRA: Heritage Foundation Introducing a Defensive Gun Use Database

By NRA News

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Anti-gun forces are always quick to report the use of firearms in violent crimes – but they never talk about the number of times law-abiding people use a firearm successfully in lawful self-defense. Published in the 1990s, “Point Blank” by Dr. Gary Kleck, a criminologist, and researcher from Florida State University, destroyed the arguments of gun control proponents.

His research revealed that crime among people who carry guns for self-defense is almost nonexistent.

His study found that a firearm is used to protect it’s owner, from crime, approximately 2.5 million times a year. Additionally, those findings show that for every time a gun is used in the commission of a crime, a gun is used 3-4 more times in self-defense.

The Heritage Foundation is now introducing a database of defensive gun use.
