CDC removed stats on defensive gun use over pressure from gun control activists: report​

The CDC commissioned the gun use study itself, but removed it last year​



" The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reportedly removed statistics on defensive gun use in the U.S. following pressure from gun control advocates.

The stats sourced from a CDC-commissioned study finding that instances of defensive gun use occur between 60,000 and 2.5 million times per year. References to that study were deleted from the site following private meetings with gun control advocates in 2021, emails obtained and published by The Reload show. ..."

I was just reading that the other day.. and through the internal emails documenting who said what to who to get the CDC to comply. Kind of long but an interesting read.

It's amazing how easy burying the facts you don't like is... if you know the right people in the white house.
 
50k deaths by firearms (more than half are suicide,
Suicides by firearms should not be included in "firearm violence" stats. Suicide is a matter of personal choice and should never be considered a "crime."

The FBI is a law enforcement agency. As such, it should have a neutral stance on political issues. Unfortunately, the FBI is not longer thus. Institutions of higher education have largely become academies of the left; it follows that youung grads going into the FBI would bring some of this indoctrination along with them.

It should also NOT include perpetrators of crime being killed in justifiable homicides by LEO or DGU's.
 
On the other hand... it is a "gun violence" stat. I mean... if guns are out running around shooting people... shouldn't their victim counts include the good, the bad, the ugly... and those providing mercy?
