New York Times Editorial Board Regurgitates Bad Study to Condemn Concealed Carry

Back in June, I detailed a study by the Violence Policy Center that purported to show that private gun owners were far more likely to kill innocent people than to defend themselves. The study arrived at this conclusion by using woefully incomplete data sets from the FBI crime reports, which are voluntarily submitted (or not submitted) by law enforcement agencies. You can read my full analysis here, but the short version is that the VPC study interprets the lack of justified homicide submissions by law enforcement as proof that justified homicides do not occur, resulting in an unbelievable assertion that there were literally zero defensive gun uses in dozens of states over a five year period.
 
Comment by: lbauer (10/29/2015)
According to the VPC defensive gun use only counts if an attacker is killed. Why? Because it furthers their goal to turn us against guns. But FBI estimates firearms are used defensively 800,000 times a year. Other estimates are as high as 2.5 million as many such incidents are never reported.
Yet again the VPC lies to us by cherry picking only certain information to justify their false narrative.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Without freedom there will be no firearms among the people; without firearms among the people there will not long be freedom. Certainly there are examples of countries where the people remain relatively free after the people have been disarmed, but there are no examples of a totalitarian state being created or existing where the people have personal arms. — Neal Knox
