During the decades the American Rifleman has published “The Armed Citizen” column, thousands of incidents of law-abiding Americans using firearms to halt or prevent crime have appeared in the magazine. Editorial space allowing, the total could have been far greater of course, as award-winning survey research shows that each year in the U.S. gun owners use firearms for protection as frequently as 2.5 million times.

What a fun searchable data base.
Do a keyword search like “shotgun” or “revolver” and look back in time.

“each year in the U.S. gun owners use firearms for protection as frequently as 2.5 million times.”
What really sets the gun grabbers off about this statistic is that in most of these cases, no shots are fired and no one gets hurt.

Imagine an America where all sides of an issue are discussed openly and openly. Heck, imagine it just in high schools.
