Meanwhile FBI statistics show that 2.4 MILLION crimes (rapes, murders, burglaries, robberies, home invasions, car jacking, etc.) are prevented each year by firearms in the hands of private citizens. Yet that little fact gets no attention from the Globe at all.
In fact assuming the Globe statistics are even correct (33,000 people will die from gun violence in murder or suicide) and I'm not sure that they are....... That means that for every "murder or suicide" 72.72 crimes have been prevented and lives saved by firearms in the hands of private citizens.
In other words - the Boston Globe is fill of shit....
Oh - by the way - that means 6,575 crimes EACH DAY are prevented by firearms in the hands of private citizens - according to FBI statistics.
