					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Yes, there have been a tiny handful of entire days without shootings, but (shocker!) the criminal element in Chi-town have plenty of other ways to murder people.&quot;

Yep. The criminal element always has many different ways to murder. But you know something they did not like to point out for that day? There was still violent crime on that day.

These anti-gun idiots are so busy keeping people focused on &#039;gun violence&#039; they have duped the public. In reality, over half of that classed as &#039;homicide&#039; in relation to shootings, on a nationwide basis, in the FBI stats, is not &#039;murder homicide&#039; but rather &#039;justified homicide&#039; which is also known as &#039;self-defense&#039; (and in the FBI states includes home defense and defense of others also). In reality though even the FBI states doesn&#039;t cover it all for this portion because it only accounts for incidents in which the criminal got shot by the defender. In reality there are millions of justified self-defense incidents annually nationwide, its just that the defender doesn&#039;t need to fire in most because the criminals run away (and some surrender) when the defender brandishes. 

In 2023, nation wide, ~83% of violent crime successfully committed (but when all is counted to include non-sucessful violent criminal threat in which the criminal was repelled by an aggressive defender its ~90%), the criminals used something other than a gun. Of all the violent crime committed nation wide,  in a variable 8 - 12 % the criminal will use a gun.

The anti-gun are literally making people less safe by distracting them from realizing the greater threat is not the criminal with a gun - but rather its the criminal without the gun.

Statistically a person is 94% more likely to escape serious injury or death if they employ a firearm (including simply brandishing) at the beginning of a violent attack than they are by use of any other means (including another ‘defensive weapon or method’ e.g. blunt object, knife, hands/feet, pepper spray, stun gun, calling 911, yelling for help, etc..) or trying to escape.

In 2023; Overall (as an only defense measure) less than 7% of the ‘barricade in a room’ (of those that reported doing it) victims avoided serious injury, less than 4% of victims who employed hand-to-hand defense either in home or outside the home avoided serious injury, less than 10% of those armed with pepper spray or stun gun or another non-firearm defensive ‘weapon’ avoided serious injury either in or outside the home. Overall (all categories, reported) in 2023 there were ~2.7 million people that employed a firearm for defense (DGU) (including brandishing, includes self-defense and defense of others and home), less than 6% of the defenders actually fired, and 97% of the victims (collectively) avoided serious injury or death by employing DGU.

In 2023: Overall nationwide, of all the women targeted for rape, ~38% of these women (age range 17 - 53) were armed with a firearm and used that firearm to successfully defend against and repel their attackers. As a result all of these were not raped or injured - thus did not become a statistics number. Less than 1% of those attackers used a gun, the primary weapons they used were knives, clubs, hands.]]></description>
