v5.0 - March 30th 2015 [added 4 pictures showing no correlation between gun ownership, suicide, homicide, poverty and income under “heres some information anti gun people do not bring up” at the end]
Here are the facts on DGU’s from different studies (Defensive Gun Use)
55k - 80k DGU’s occur every year
1,000,000 DGU’s occur every year
108k DGU’s occur every year
250k - 370k DGU’s occur every year
497k DGU’s occur every year
At best, gun control advocates can claim 30,000 deaths a year from guns on average, with 20,000 being suicide to fluff the numbers on their “gun violence claims” and it still falls incredibly short compared to people saved by guns yearly.
Here is some information anti gun people do not bring up
Banning guns would not reduce murder and suicide
No rise in mass shootings
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Guns are excellent self defense tools
Mexico’s 90% Gun Supply come from the USA Myth
DOJ Study Fails to Show 1994 Assault Weapons Ban Worked
64% of gun control advocates believe the incorrect assumption that gun crime has gone up
53% of Americans oppose stricter gun laws
64% of Americans believe it would be bad if only the government had guns
62% of Americans believe that the government wouldn’t fairly enforce gun laws
74% of Americans believe that the Constitution allows them to own a gun.
Police feel safer with an armed public, oppose gun control
Majority of criminals fear and avoid house and people they believe to be armed, fear armed civilians more than the police
Anti gunners wishing harm and death on gun owners part 1

Chances of being shot or killed based on firearm deaths and population count
Death by gun, suicide excluded
0.0032%
Death by gun, suicide included
0.0095%
Death in a mass shooting alone
0.000032%
Injury by gun, no death
0.024%
Death of injury by gun including suicide
0.033%
Gun deaths and injuries etc based off general stats used by anti gun people, rather than exact numbers from each year because its faster and easier to do. Going by exact yearly figures would result in very little change to the average numbers used above.
Now guns compared to other ways you can die
Unintentional fall deaths
Deaths per 100,000 population: 8.4
Motor vehicle traffic deaths
Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.9
Unintentional poisoning deaths
Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.7
Deaths per 100,000 population: 13.9
All Drug poisoning deaths
Deaths per 100,000 population: 12.4 (2010)
Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.3
10.3 for deaths total in general (remember how suicide was the bulk here)
3.6 for homicide
6.3 for suicide
0.30 for unintentional
0.10 undetermined
You are more likely to trip and die than be killed by a gun.

Still not enough to convince you or a anti gunner you know that gun control is bullshit? Click here for another beautiful collection of knowledge on gun ownership and gun law courtesy of Space Thomas Jefferson
