I'm on my phone right now, so I'm unable to link to the FBI data, but I'll do so later. The rate of DGU numbers in the thousands per year, most of which don't involve discharging the weapon.
So, SWAG 300,000,000 guns and SWAG again 10,000 DGU a year. 0.00003% of guns used as they are purportedly used for. Not good return on the money.
Well, I wouldn't say every one of those guns was purchased for that reason, would you?
