Title: Need some help finding facts
Post by: MikeBjerum on February 09, 2015, 09:33:00 PM

Several self defense and Second Amendment shows start with slide shows giving facts on assaults, self defense, reaction under stress, outcomes based on submitting and fighting back, etc.

Does anyone have a simple link to these, supported by fact, for easy use.

Try this resource.   

http://www.gunfacts.info/ (http://www.gunfacts.info/)

I keep a copy on my computer for reference. 


Then there's  http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp (http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp), which claims to be independent.

If you check in the back of any copy of the American Rifleman, they've got true stories called "The Armed Citizen". There are literally thousands of them.

There is a web site called "Guns Save Lives that posts stories similar to those in AR, but they do it every day. Both GSL and AR have far more specific incidents than actual "facts".
