This video critically analyzes a 2025 National Survey of Gun Policy by the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, funded by Michael Bloomberg.

This video argues that statistics used to promote gun control are often inflated by including self-defense incidents as negative events. The speaker suggests that by misinterpreting terms like 'incident' and failing to differentiate between criminal acts and justified self-defense, proponents of gun control create a misleading picture of firearm use. The core message is to critically examine data and understand the context behind the numbers.

Dr. John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention Research Center, critiques FBI data on defensive gun uses during active shooter incidents.
