CDC Restores Gun Defensive Use Estimates to Website Years After Removing Them Under Political Pressure

The CDC now cites a National Academies report showing 60,000 to 2.5 million annual defensive gun uses, restoring data previously removed in 2022.

Summary by The Reload
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reposted a broad estimate of the number of times Americans use firearms to defend themselves, several years after it was removed following private complaints from gun-control advocates. The CDC website now includes a reference to Defensive Gun Use (DGU) estimates for the first time since The Reload broke news about the reason for their removal in 2022. Source
