And don't try to use Lott's or Kleck's study both have been debunked.
You can also find this on Wikipedia.
"Also" indeed... more plagiarizing and bullshit.
In January 2013, President Barack Obama directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to, along with other federal agencies, immediately begin identifying the most pressing problems in firearm violence research. The CDC and the CDC Foundation asked the IOM, in collaboration with the National Research Council, to convene a committee tasked with developing a potential research agenda that focuses on the causes of, possible interventions to, and strategies to minimize the burden of firearm-related violence.
The committee's report, published by the National Academies Press, found that armed citizens are less likely to be injured by an attacker...
Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was ‘used’ by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.
Additionally, the committe reports the finding that...
Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year -- in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.
Interestingly in this connection, the report notes that some scholars argue for a lower estimate of 108,000 DGUs based on NCVS data, but discounts that conclusion because respondents were not asked about defensive gun use.
Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm Related Violence

Description
In 2010, more than 105,000 people were injured or killed in the United States as the result of a firearm-related incident. Recent, highly publicized, tragic mass shootings in Newtown, CT; Aurora, CO; Oak Creek, WI; and Tucson, AZ, have sharpened the American public's interest in protecting our children and communities from the harmful effects of firearm violence. While many Americans legally use firearms for a variety of activities, fatal and nonfatal firearm violence poses a serious threat to public safety and welfare.
In January 2013, President Barack Obama issued 23 executive orders directing federal agencies to improve knowledge of the causes
I looked over the rules and it says nothing about requiring bios and foot notes so you, as always, twist things to match your phatic views. In the Degrading Scientific Standards it is Kleck attach against McDowell. Kleck has never appeared before a Science review board and the Academy of Science has declared his work not proven which is good enough me. Now today it was cold, wet and over casted but after reading your laughable attempt to me the sun was shining, it was warm, a beautiful spring day.
