A Statistical Mystery: Why Does the FBI Under-Report Defensive Gun Uses?

…FBI reports say self-defense with guns is rare.

“They’re simply missing a huge number of cases,” says Lott. He’s posted a list of cases the FBI ignored, where civilians stopped shooters.

The FBI lists the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. Forty-nine people were killed.

“One week afterwards,” says Lott, “there was a similar attack at a nightclub in South Carolina.”

But there, a civilian shot the attacker.

“Still had 125 rounds of ammunition on him when he was stopped!” says Lott.

Somehow, the FBI missed that case, along with so many others.

  1. Its not a mystery. Its an obvious intentional omission by the FBI. Ya think the anti-gun and left wing politicians have not been at this for years to compromise government agencies to sell their anti-gun narrative?

    Whats one of the very first things anti-gun people do when they start screaming about guns? Why of course, they point to ‘statistics’ and numbers from ‘government sources’, and 99% of the time those ‘government sources’ have been compromised by anti-gun interests to show only what they wanted them to show.

    For example; The supposedly lower crime Biden and Kamala like to point to, its ‘according to the FBI crime went down during the Biden administration’ – which is a lie because the FBI numbers are missing almost 50% of the crime, because more than 36% of large cities (large cities are where the majority of crime happens) stopped reporting their numbers to the FBI and the majority of those cities are blue that have the largest amount of crime. So in reality, when the crime in those areas that stopped reporting is taken into account the amount of crime actually went up under the Biden administration and has passed what it was under the Trump administration. This is not a plug for Trump, its just a fact but left winger’s and anti-gun would call me a ‘right wing MAGA Trump supporting extremist’ for saying this. This is an example of how they use compromised government sources to bias and lie to people, and if you ask most any Biden or Harris supporter about crime eventually they will get around to pointing to the FBI numbers to claim it went down under Biden, and actually believe it while they are blissfully unaware of how they have been duped and lied to. The left wing has become one mass of squirming delusion from the infection of idiot and crazy set free to run wild by Biden and Kamala.
