How do you know that? On what are you basing that opinion?

There are all kinds of numbers floating around out there in regards to defensive gun use. Some figures are 1.5 million defensive gun incidents per year. Some are even higher.

Here is one old government report that suggests defensive gun use figures are higher than some government agencies estimate....

The problem with accurate figures on defensive gun use is that if no firearms were discharged, the authorities may not even be notified in many cases.
