Second Amendment Victories: 2014’s Top Stories Of Self Defense

Second Amendment Victories: 2014’s Top Stories Of Self Defense:

"After a series of school shootings and other senseless acts of violence, 2014 saw a rise in anti-gun activists proposing that limiting access to guns for law-abiding citizens is the pathway to a safer society. At the same time, however, there were also reports nationwide of crimes thwarted and lives saved thanks to the vigilance of armed citizens.

Western Journalism has compiled a list including many of these stories, straight from headlines across the United States."

The following is from a DOJ report that can be seen at http://bjs.gov/content/pub/ascii/hvfsdaft.txt
“On average in 1987-92 about 83,000 crime victims per year used a firearm to defend themselves or their property.”
83,000 per year is more than 9 times per hour.
This was the last report on this issue that the DOJ prepared before further reporting activity was cancelled by then President Clinton.
