Videos tagged with Self-Defense Data

This video, presented by Colion Noir, analyzes a study by John Lott and Carlisle Moody on the effectiveness of armed civilians in stopping active shooters compared to police. It highlights that armed civilians are often already on-site, are less obvious targets than uniformed officers, and statistically stop more incidents, causing fewer deaths and injuries. The presentation also emphasizes that civilians handle the responsibility of armed self-defense effectively, often with a lower risk of casualties than law enforcement intervention. The importance of USCCA membership for legal and financial protection in self-defense situations is also discussed.

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.
