WebMar 4, 2018 · If an armed citizen stops a crime (500K per year on the low side, up to 2M times per the CDC, usually by presenting the gun without further violence), there would have to be evidence that the crime stopped would have become a mass shooting (4+ shot) but for the armed citizen.

FBI Report Shows Armed Citizens Killed More Criminals Than Police

A great find from the folks at the Second Amendment Foundation, who note that the latest Uniform Crime Report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that there were more defensive gun uses involving armed citizens than police officers in 2020.
We looked at Tables 14 and 15 in the FBI’s new report that apply to justifiable homicides by law enforcement and private citizens, respectively,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Last year, according to the data, armed citizens killed 343 criminals during the commission of a felony while police fatally shot 298 felons.
“If the FBI data published in their crime report for 2020 is accurate,” he continued, “it is ample evidence that the individual right to keep and bear arms for personal defense is as important today as it was when the Second Amendment was adopted as a cornerstone of the Bill of Rights.”
Note, by the way, that these are justifiable homicides that the FBI included in its report. The agency doesn’t keep track of defensive gun uses that don’t result in the death of an assailant, which are far more common. In fact, most defensive gun uses don’t even result in a shot being fired. Still, as Gottlieb says, it’s clear based on these statistics that the right of self-defense is vitally important given that police most often show up after a crime’s been committed.
“The use of deadly force is not something anybody wants,” Gottlieb observed, “but neither is being injured or killed by some thug during a violent criminal attack. Self-defense may be the oldest natural right, and every time we hear some politician, public official or gun control extremist call for citizen disarmament, we have to wonder which side they’re on. It certainly can’t be on the side of public safety.”

From the CCRKBA . . .
The FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2020 indicates that armed private citizens killed more criminals during the commission of a felony last year than were killed by police, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says this data clearly underscores the continuing need for American gun ownership.
“We looked at Tables 14 and 15 in the FBI’s new report that apply to justifiable homicides by law enforcement and private citizens, respectively,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Last year, according to the data, armed citizens killed 343 criminals during the commission of a felony while police fatally shot 298 felons.

In 2015, Eugene Volokh, a Gary T. Schwartz professor of law that UCLA Law School, wrote an editorial for The Washington Post in which he pondered the question whether, “Citizens (not police officers) with guns ever stop mass shootings?”
Volokh cited several examples in which law-abiding citizens with legally owned firearms did successfully manage to stop criminals, and while Volokh didn’t try to answer the question directly – few in the media ever report when firearms are used to stop crime.
Too often, the media is more interested when a firearm – legal or otherwise – is used to commit a crime. That was largely true in 2015 and is certainly true today. There have been countless attempts by the media to suggest that the record number of firearms sold last year accounted for the record increase in violence in our nation’s urban centers. There have been few stories regarding how those record numbers of firearms have helped people defend themselves.
Yet, according to the FBI’s recently released Uniform Crime Report for 2020, armed private citizens killed more criminals during the committing of a felony last year than were killed by police. This shouldn’t be surprising, as the FBI’s data reported that violent crime rates rose 5.2 percent when compared with the 2019 rate; even as the property crime rate declined 8.1 percent.
According to the FBI, in 2020, there were an estimated 1,277,696 violent crimes. When compared with the estimates from 2019, the estimated number of robbery offenses fell 9.3 percent, and the estimated volume of rape (revised definition) offenses decreased 12.0 percent, the FBI’s data highlighted. The estimated number of aggravated assault offenses rose 12.1 percent, and the volume of murder and non-negligent manslaughter offenses increased 29.4 percent.
“We looked at Tables 14 and 15 in the FBI’s new report that apply to justifiable homicides by law enforcement and private citizens, respectively,” said Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Last year, according to the data, armed citizens killed 343 criminals during the commission of a felony while police fatally shot 298 felons.
“If the FBI data published in their crime report for 2020 is accurate,” he continued, “it is ample evidence that the individual right to keep and bear arms for personal defense is as important today as it was when the Second Amendment was adopted as a cornerstone of the Bill of Rights.”
Currently, 44 percent of American households own a firearm, with more than 393 million guns legally owned by U.S. citizens. According to data from the U.S. Department of Justice, which was cited by American Gun Facts, 57 percent of felons are actually more afraid of an armed citizen than a police officer. The website also noted that between 500,000 and 3 million firearms are used in self defense every year.
Concealed carry laws actually accounted for an 8.5 percent reduction of murders, 5 percent reduction of rapes, 7 percent reduction of assaults and even 3 percent reduction of robberies. Moreover, the data found that there is only one murder per 55,000 rifles owned.
American Gun Facts also noted that the average shooting lasts fewer than 12 minutes, but the average police response time is 18 minutes.
“The use of deadly force is not something anybody wants,” said Gottlieb. “But neither is being injured or killed by some thug during a violent criminal attack. Self-defense may be the oldest natural right, and every time we hear some politician, public official or gun control extremist call for citizen disarmament, we have to wonder which side they’re on. It certainly can’t be on the side of public safety.”
And the list goes on and on. Being the democrat member of the cult that you are, I would not dare call anyone stupid, unless you are looking in a mirror.
