Well, they may not have fudged data but the probably packed fu............. Never mind.

[max americana]

“National Crime Victimization Survey”

The name alone spells bullsh*t. I guess what this bogus gun control scam is telling us it’s better to bend over than fight back.

Study Finds No Advantages to Using a Firearm in Self-Defense Situations

Then why do FBI and ATF agents carry a gun to defend themselves when making arrests?

[Arm_Bears]

I guess the Secret Service agents assigned to Obama will be packing feather boas from now on.

It’s also Horse Shit...I KNOW! I just got back in the house after cleaning the corrals.

[Johnny B.]

None of the people I know who have used guns for self-defense have ever reported the incident to the government, so I doubt their statistics are accurate.

And, of course, their argument is irrelevant to any 2nd Amendment argument, since the 2nd Amendment isn't about self-defense from individuals.

[WayneS]

Me too.

My TBA (Tragic Boating Accident) was in a john-boat, though, not a canoe.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I tried to read the article all the way through just to say I did but couldn’t make it. The whole premise is so stupid and the numbers so manipulated its ridiculous.

Well I need to go clean my gun. :=)

[Fiddlstix]

Yeah! Right!
ROTFL

[2ndDivisionVet]

So the Secret Service, Capitol Police, FBI, State Police, celebrity bodyguards and FEMA have just traded in their weapons for running shoes?

[rktman]

Hmmm. Bayou accident? So you can “buy you” some new ones? :>}

[Hornet22]

The two “punks” with a piece of pipe that confronted my wife and I certainly thought my .45 was an advantage.

New Study?

New Propaganda....

[mrsmel]

I would agree, and add “more power to them”, if they managed it.

Chance of injury is virtually the same. 10.9% vs 11%.
Yes, but me having a gun insures that the injury will be to them, not me.

[Lazamataz]

You just got hacked by Michael Bloomberg.

[RinaseaofDs]

The people conducting this study never read The Armed Citizen in my monthly American Hunter magazine. My daughter sees it in the mail and beats me to that column. Then she photographs the stories and sends them out on Instagram to her friends.

The laugh about it. Like the Darwin Awards.

[facedown]

Lol, study finds most studies are manure.

[pfflier]

We know what Lynne Russell told us about that.
