According to the National Self-Defense Survey created by Florida State University criminologists in 1994, the rate of defensive gun uses can be projected to approximately 2.5 million per year, or one defensive use for every 13 seconds. from here

This may or may not be a bullcrap stat. I'm pro-2nd amendment but not a "gun nut". To me its a simple question of trust. I trust my fellow citizens with guns and I don't trust politicians who don't trust my fellow citizens. As far as Mike Moore is concerned, he really plays it fast and loose with the truth but he did come up with one good question...Why does Canada, with similar gun ownership numbers to the US, not have the gun violence numbers we have?
