| CDC: Upwards of 2.5 Million Defensive Gun Uses Per Year |
| 2026-08-25 |
| [BB] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) put defensive gun use figures back on their website, and that data shows upwards of 2.5 million such uses a year. This information from the CDC is not new; rather, it is newly reposted. It was deleted in 2022, and Breitbart News pointed to a FOX News claim that the deletion occurred after the CDC was pressured by gun control activists. But it is 2026, and the data is back on the CDC website on the “About Firearm Injury and Death” page. Under the subtitle, “Defensive Gun Use,” the page says, “Estimates of defensive gun use vary depending on the questions asked, populations studied, timeframe, and other factors related to study design. The report Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence indicates a range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year.” Related: Defensive gun use 03/13/2025 The Federalist-Study: Concealed Carriers Do A Better Job Of Stopping Active Shooters Than Police Defensive gun use 02/18/2025 Trump's FBI Reforms Need To Include Ending Its Data Distortions On Crime Defensive gun use 04/23/2024 Police Website Reveals CDC Suppressing Defensive Gun Use Data Related: CDC: 2026-08-22 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.'
