    So you conveniently exclude all non-fatal gun crimes.

    Many gun control advocates get and recognize their DGU stats from recorded instances where guns were discharged and wounded or killed their assailants. They don’t acknowledge instances of DGUs where no gun was discharged.
    I found it interesting, no long ago, where the media, and many in this forum, criticized the off duty fellow at the McDonalds in Chicago was caught on video being beaten by a couple of thugs. He pulled a gun, stopped the attack, but didn’t fire his gun. It was a successful DGU, but you wouldn’t know it from the critics that framed him as the bad guy in the scenario because he pulled a gun. I wager that incident was not recorded as a DGU.

    They dont track them like they do homicide by firearm. I'm open to you providing stats

    It was yourself who posted a topic relating to the subject of homicides, not non-fatal incidents.

    I wasn't making a comparison between justifiable homicides and all gun crimes.

    you'd be hard pressed to find a more dishonest POS than Sugarmann. This guy was thrown out of the Brady bunch for being too extreme. he is the one who started the deliberate confusion over "assault weapons" and machine guns. Turds like him are the ones who sell far more guns than the gun lobby.

    Hemenway- a paid shill for the gun banning lobby is an outcome based propagandist who masquerades as a researcher. He is well known for his dishonesty and bogus conclusions
