According to a FOX News report, the Centers Centers for Disease Control and Prevention removed statistical figures illustrating roughly 2.5 million annual defensive gun use (DGUs) cases after facing pressure from gun control activists.
FOX News alluded to an email that pro-Second Amendment website The Reload obtained and published.
Per the emails, the CDC was exposed for falling to anti-gun pressure. Specifically, it was compelled to remove links to a summary of studies on DGUs which demonstrated that annual DGU cases span between 60,000 and 2.5 million. AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News noted that the latter number of DGU cases would “totally” eclipse incidents of criminal gun usage.
