Description
Gun control advocates are officially in full panic mode. After intense lobbying successfully removed it in 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has officially restored its estimate that Americans use firearms in self-defense between 60,000 and 2.5 million times every single year. Today on ARFCOM News, we break down the recent meltdown from The Trace and anti-gun research groups like the Gun Violence Archive, who are furious that the Trump administration has reinstated this data on the CDC's firearm injury and death prevention web page. We discuss where the 2.5 million figure actually comes from—the landmark 1993 Gary Kleck survey—why the low-end 60,000 estimate from the National Crime Victimization Survey fails to capture the reality of deterrence, and why the anti-gun lobby fought so hard to bury this statistic in the first place. A huge thank you to Holosun for sponsoring this week's episode!
