    Default Gun stats: Lives Saved vs Criminal Homicides

    This is probably old news for a lot of you, but it was the first time I'd seen it written out so clearly before and so I thought I'd share it for anyone else who (like me) hadn't seen it before.

    ...which means that for every criminal homicide with a firearm there were more than two lives saved by DGUs.


    DGU = Defensive Gun Use.

    It's a long article, but it's a really good read.

    Thanks for the posted link! Great read and so definative of the gun banning left. It isn't about murder rates, DUGs, guns in general or gun ownership,, it is all about power.

    I went to that site, Norton alerted me that it had stopped a virus attack on my computer.

    Don't know what to tell you...

    I go to that site everyday, even from work, and have had no problems.

    google: The Truth about Guns Honduras and it's the "blood dancing" article.
