No surprise that Defensive Gun Usage stats are not accurately reported. Good short video from John Stossel with John Lott:
Hollywood portrays civilian gun owners as fools, more likely to do harm than good.
The FBI confirms defensive gun use is rare.
But researcher @JohnRLottJr says the FBI data is wrong, that civilians SAVE lives all the time.

Lott has done a great job debunking FBI anti-gun propaganda.

Not likely to happen under the UniParty though. As an email I received today said, "It's because Democrats want to grow the welfare state, and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex." I'd add to that they both want to grow the surveillance state to ensure their side continues to grow.

The data has long showed if you do not resist a criminal you still have 25% chance of injury and the criminal will complete the crime 89% of the time.
Armed resistance only has a 6% chance of injury to you with the criminal completing their crime only 31% of the time.

Another "winner" from the Security Branch of the DNC (AKA “FBI”).

It seems if you are unarmed and your robber is armed, in most cases, if you resist you end up dead. There are exceptions, one occurred in Houston recently.

Statistically, if you are unarmed and resist your chances of getting hurt go up to 38%. So make sure you carry your weapons.
