CDC Study: Use of Firearms for Self-Defense is ‘Important Crime Deterrent’

Gun rights advocates have long defended their right to bear arms out of a need for self-defense. And now they have a new report from the Centers for Disease Control that says they make a darn good point.

The CDC report said that most incidents involving the use of a gun do not result in a fatality

Researchers found that the majority of firearm deaths are not from homicide, but from suicide.

“Whether gun restrictions reduce firearm-related violence is an unresolved issue,” and there is no evidence “that passage of right-to-carry laws decrease or increase violence crime.” It also stated that proposed “gun turn-in programs are ineffective.”
