    There are way more DGUs than there are not.

    I think this is a pretty gigantic citation needed here. I couldn’t find anything supporting this assertion but plenty of material showing the opposite.

      Before the CDC took it off the site, they had reference to an estimated 500-2.5mil DGUs a year. DGUs are hard to estimate because a dgu can be as simple as presenting the firearm to a would be attacker and the attacker leaving the victim(s) alone. Most people don’t call the police because of this.
