Defensive Gun Use Statistics: America’s Life-Saving Gun Incidents (2024)
The Second Amendment limits the government’s power over the people’s right to keep and bear arms for the defense of our nation. However, Americans uniquely have the right to defend our lives with the most effective tools available.
