The estimates that guns save around 3 million people per year are probably bullshit. But so are the estimates that it is less than 50'000 per year. The estimates that guns save 300'000 people per year in the US are probably close to the truth, don't you think?
Unlikely. Though I could easily see 300k people saying they needed a gun, or that a gun saved them.
