My usual sources for daily Feel Good Stories are as bare as the TP shelves in the Personal Hygiene aisle at your local mega-mart, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Bad Guys all have a change of heart from their evil ways? Big city Democrat Mayor’s pleas to criminals to chill during the COVID-19 crisis, heeded? Not likely, but who knows?

Why These Defensive Uses of Firearms Should Disarm Second Amendment Skeptics<\/strong><\/p>\n Amy Swearer \/ Lucas Drill While some gun control advocates claim the Second Amendment is a dangerous historical relic, even going so far as to call for its repeal<\/a>, they often overlook the fact that firearms are significantly more likely to be used for self-defense than in criminal activity.<\/p>\n In fact, according to a 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost all national studies of defensive gun uses have found that firearms are used in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million<\/a> times every year in the United States.<\/p>\n Additionally, an independent analysis of the CDC\u2019s own internal data on defensive gun uses indicates that firearms are used defensively about one million<\/a> times a year, dwarfing the number of deaths and injuries attributable to their criminal use.<\/p>\n This year, we made a commitment to highlight just a few of the many defensive gun uses that occur every month.
