How Many People Use a Gun a Year?

The self defense question is very interesting, and it kind of surprised me when i first started doing gun research for dave copele at law school. I was stunned at how any sort of reasonable conservative guess at how many times people defend themselves with guns a year is sort of stunningly high. But that that hundred ten thousand number is almost assuredly magnitude too low. So there's, this is a good time to tell a powerful story from the heller lawsuit. A lot of people don't realize there 're actually six plaintiffs in heller. Only dick heller was found to have standing because of a preposterous ruling by the d c circuit about standing.
