The FBI and Media Don’t Tell You How Many Lives Guns SAVE

- The FBI says self-defense with a gun is RARE, and their statistics support that. The legacy media, Hollywood, and left-wing politicians use that data to push gun control.
But criminal justice researcher John Lott says the FBI ignores lots of cases where civilians’ guns SAVE LIVES.

In case after case that the FBI missed, civilians used their own guns to stop active shooters.
Raul Mendez was one of those heroes.
At a neighbor’s party, a guest opened fire and shot Mendez in the head.
Thankfully, he was able to recover and pull out his concealed gun.
He stopped the attacker from killing other party guests.
Yet his story, and that of many others, aren't recorded by the FBI. They get little media coverage.
Our new video shows why guns in the right hands save lives.
A good guy with a gun doesn't fit their narrative.
People having guns would be a real problem for them.
Their narrative isn't factual.
Well said!
If there were no guns. Criminals would use something else
Because that’s what criminals do
Kooky Kathy needs to be fired from her position as Hand-Me-Down, Pretend Governor
The people telling you that a good guy with a gun can’t help lower crime also tell you that men can get pregnant.
And that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack! 😂
🎯
I guess that's why they think we should defund the police. And I suppose defund the military would be next. We should just all get along without guns. It makes sense if you don't think about it.
🫃🏻
And that we can’t control the border but we can control climate change
10 years a corrections officer. Based upon hundreds of interviews, I can tell you that criminals fear a citizen with a gun more than a cop.
Of course! I don’t have a boatload of superiors telling me when I can pull my gun. I’m more dangerous than a cop. 😂😂😂
Was there a reason given that they feared a citizen more?
@@anonymous.nobody I'm sure a free citizen isn't inhibited when using their gun like the LEO would be.
@@anonymous.nobody because it will take time for an officer to show up. But an armed citizen is right there.
@@anonymous.nobodyI only had two years as a CO working in a prison, but they have me a reason, and it was always the same one: unpredictability. They never knew if someone was carrying or how they would react. Cops were predictable; armed citizens were not.
John is a treasure for truth.
I'm 57. Twice in my life, I have had to use a firearm to protect myself and my family. Thankfully neither time was I forced to discharge my weapon. Both times I held the intruder at gun point until law enforcement arrived. No news interviews, no fanfare, no reports other that a police report on the arrests. 1 incident I was told by police, "good job". Second tome I was admonished by police for being reckless and dangerous. My procedure in both instances was the same.
Same here. Used to pick up hitchhikers. One very cold and rainy day picked up a hitchhiker.. He pulled a knife on me wanting my wallet. Glad I had a firearm with me. He was soon back out in the bitter elements. Learned my lesson, no more hitchhikers.
Happy to know that you are one of us good guys!
The second officer watches too much news and movies.
@@andrewwilson3587 The second Pig, I mean "officer" just wants the hero and god complex. When a citizen can properly and rightfully protect themselves, there's no need for the "hero" pig. His ego was hurt in the citizen being able to do their "godly job."
@@davidmangen1912 I hope you disarmed him before you kicked him out.
The Media is trying to teach to be dependent on Government, not to be self-reliant.
The "media" is part of the government anymore... bald ass propaganda...
Actually they're teaching you to be dependent on your corporate job, and they're teaching you that people dependent on the government are below you. Funny though, because where do you work again?
Because they know they are dying and state funding is their only chance.
Indoctrination! Be good, quiet, and listen because we know what's best. That's MSM/government narrative.
@@ride1123 The last time I had a job was 1975. Small business owner. Anyone on a social program is committing armed robbery by taxation.
It's been repeated to death, but it still rings true;
"Gun Control is not about guns... it's about control."
I'm a liberal and I'm very pro 2nd amendment but to me the conservatives are also about controlling our lives with their anti-gay and pro-life agenda. I guess I care more about those rights than guns because you can always say you just lost your guns in a boating accident. Also if it came down to it we can just make bombs or our own guns using compressed air.
THIS. No matter how many times it has been repeated, repeat it again until they get it. Keep preaching.
It's also about firearms. The corrupt politicians don't want citizens resisting them.
agree; 100%
in China history as well as
many Asian nations that did
no possessed guns, they
outlawed martial arts...
it was all about control
if you practice illegal martial arts
you were arrested if you got caught
here are a few examples:
China: Various dynasties, especially during the Qin and Han periods, attempted to suppress martial arts to maintain social order and consolidate power.
Japan: Before the Meiji Restoration (1868), there were periods when the ruling shogunate restricted certain martial practices to limit the power of the samurai class.
Korea: During the Joseon Dynasty, the state promoted Confucian ideals and discouraged practices, including martial arts, that were seen as promoting violence.
Vietnam: Various dynasties in Vietnam, particularly during times of foreign domination, sought to control and reduce the practice of martial arts to prevent rebellion.
here's what i know
you can not reach the highest levels
of martial arts unless you were a truly
moral person...morality helps the martial artist
to level up...those than don't never fully achieve
self actualization.
100% all about control of citizens.
They only care about disarming law-abiding citizens which would make you reliant on the government to protect you. The only problem is that the police have no legal obligation to protect the public.(per several Supreme Court cases).
But they will allow switches to flood the U.S. market through Chinese marketplaces.
Another control move is the CBDC replacing cash. They will track every purchase and if you make the government mad they can freeze all your money like Canada did to the truckers during the Wuhan pandemic.
They are also now going after family farming worldwide with carbon mandates. Only a few conglomerate factory farming companies will be left, which will make it easier to control the nation's food supply.
We are the closest to a dystopian totalitarianism government as ever.
Well done to you, Mr Mendez! This American Patriot salutes you!
✝️🇺🇲🙏👍
There's one thing for certain. Politicians want your guns but will never give up their armed to the teeth security guards.
They think we're beneath them and thus expendable.
Yup. They want the monopoly of violence.
Of course not. They believe that our lives are not as important as theirs. They see themselves as elite people, like royalty.
Kamala Harris, is a gun owner. And I bet she even has a concealed carry permit.
@rockyroad7345 That's all you need to know that they are not to be trusted -- just as it should be all you need to know that they preach on the climate while flying private and demand you cover your face while they go about their lives.
When seconds count, Police are only minutes away!!!!
Don’t worry, the government will protect you from the bad guys as well as they protected Trump
Where I live it could easily be a half hour or more. I have a fire extinguisher because the fire department isn't much closer.
45 minutes away from where I live and I know this because of a 911 accidental pocket dial. The Police where I live are there to pick up the pieces.
Or longer.
A shooting range and gun store had that on a billboard ad on the main freeway in my area
It's true whether the MSM wants to hear it:
"An armed society, is a peaceful society."
Polite too
REALLY ? IS THAT WHAT WE HAVE ? Put the bottle down.
@@jackshaftoe1715 Yes. The communities with the most legally armed citizens, with the most relaxed gun laws, have the lowest crime and tend to have the most polite people.
While the communities with the most restrictive laws, are the opposite.
@@jackshaftoe1715Speaking of putting the bottle down, enough with the CNN Kool-aid.
Sure, just look at Switzerland where everyone is "required" to own a gun. Their crime rate is almost non-existent.
Thank you, John Stossel and John Lott, for getting the truth out to the public, against Democrat wishes.
This is why you won’t be on network television anymore. They can’t handle the truth. This is why I follow you . Another great video John .👍👍👍👍👍
MSM is really dead if you look at the numbers. With power houses like Truth TV media services and others, gaining ground, I see a large conservative media structure arising from their ashes.
Amen Brother!!
Just talked about this with my colleagues. The media lies so much, not just about guns but also immigration.
They claim:
1. They're families fleeing - wrong, it's 97% males alone
2. They're professional - wrong, most don't even have a high school grade education.
3. They're a benefit to us - wrong, statistics out of Germany shows most will be dependent on welfare their whole lives
4. They're less criminal than natives - wrong, they're even 13 times more likely to engage in violent crimes like knife crimes than a native
All this lies but questioning any of their claimes and they attack you as phobe.
Well said. It’s a damn shame these people are so myopic
You’re speaking facts!!! !
If a good person with a gun is pointless then why do the cops have them?
Well said.
Or does that mean the police aren’t good guys?
@@ClergetMusic Maybe it means cops aren't people. Are they above us?
@TheRange7 Where were you in 2020? Do you actually think your voice matters to them?
Those guys are "experts" lol
My buddy was one of the armed civilians who stopped the Gabby Giffords shooter. People are saved by guns on a daily basis.
Give him a beer from me. 🍻 ... Cheers from Denmark.
Shame on the news for not telling his story!
Bravo to him!
Bet her nor her husband even thanked him🤦🏾♀️
BS bro, I was there, no one pulled a gun on that dude, he was hit and tackled.,
Thanks for standing up for us John. It is truly appreciated.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Two least trustworthy people these days are politicians and reporters unfortunately.
Crazy how democrats and liberals look up to them like they’re their family or friends. Clueless people.
Exactly
Really? I thought it was cops and gangs that were the least trustworthy. To each their own. I'd rather hang out with polticians and reporters than cops and gangs, that's just me though. Also because cops and gangs are poth peasant class. No problem though.
Most reporters today are nothing more than propaganda peddlers, they get paid to push a narrative. Did you even watch this particular video?
@@ride1123Gangs? Sure. Why not hang out with a cop? I’d hangout with a cop any day of the week.
I lived in Britain for many years.
2 things:
1- the police beat your door down in 1993 to take your handguns because ALL handguns were registered.
2- knife crime went through the ROOF and has never come down.
The only thing that changed was the age of the perpetrators.
9 year olds carrying butcher knives and no fear of gutting anyone. Period.
Every Englishman i spoke to said the exact same thing..
" the only mistake we made was letting them take or guns and right to life.
If we could go back in time, we'd make the cops hate the day they ever put on that uniform. They are feckin useless at keeping us safe."
You can build guns with a 3d printer and access to a hardware store. You can go one further and go in with some buddies and build a rinky dink machine shop in some dude's shed. You can make the cops hate that day today, and you should. Because you choosing that path won't make you the first Britain doing this in secret, just the latest.
No need to mention acid attacks skyrocketed
The UK has a much lower homicide rate than the US.
@KAT-dg6el same reason american cops don't do it.
They aren't giving up that paycheck and extra "job security."
No difference.
Careful they don't beat your door down and arrest you for this comment.
“I assumed Hollywood and the media told the truth.” 😂
Once upon a time, we all did.
We all did... Now I am questioning why they are making up believe that ...
It's a big reason why Hollywood movies really went downhill after the year 2000.
It takes _cojones_ to admit that! Bravo, Mr. Stossel. None of us are perfect!
Hollywood works in fiction and movie studios own the news channels.
Do you really believe navy fighter pilots drink Pepsi, that MI6 secret agents all wear Rolexes and smoke Marlboro and that every rural bar and grill is turned to CNN when the protagonist drops in? The studios and producers were paid to include that and they are paid to include pet projects of the FBI, ATF, MADD, Brady Foundation, WEF, IMF, etc...
Thank you for just simply reporting the truth. Just reporting the truth no agenda. Keep up the good work John we’re listening and watching.
The Greenwood Park Mall shooting in Indiana...a civilian stopped a shooter who had already killed 3 people and wounded others. The civilian engaged the shooter within 15 seconds of the start of shooting, with a Glock from 40 yards. He hit 8 out of 10 times.
Elisjsha Dicken was his name. The Dicken drill is no easy task.
That really is an impressive stoppage, he earned that drill being named after him for sure
40 yards with a glock? Damn. 8/10 is fantastic.
Yep he definitely saved some lives
Reinforcing a world where this is how we expect to interact. If manifestation was real, people who love guns manifest gun violence. I PRAY TO GOD MANIFESTATION ISN'T REAL OR GUN PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY DESTROYING THE WORLD
Stupid people being used to do evil. A tale as old as time.
"When guns are outlawed..."
The media hides gambling winning from casinos too, they make it seem like if you go to a casino, you just lose. Not true, people win a ton of money from casinos, and they just don't show that.

@@sarahalderman3126 @Bill_Woo is saying, "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws, and the government, will have guns."
Fun fact: the supreme court , not once but twice voted , the police do not have an obligation to protect you unless you're in their custody .
You are your 1st responder.
EXACTLY. Castle Rock v Gonzales. And yes, the violence in disarmed nations rages on, mostly because those nations have now shown that they are enemies to the people. There are worse things than death; I’d much rather live free than what “government” is offering.
Castle Rock vs. Gonzales .
And a court decision is not 'a vote', it's a decision which all sitting members and all lower courts are bound to uphold. At SCOTUS, every judge is allowed to write or sign onto an affirming or dissenting opinion on each case where a decision is rendered.
Exactly!
Also, Warren v. District of Columbia
And also many, MANY lower court and state courts have found the same thing...
The two Uvalde officers were charged with child endangerment and abandonment though.
Fun fact: The police have NO duty/obligation to protect ANYONE not in their custody, Uvalde and Parkland proved this. YOUR safety/security is YOUR responsibility, knowing this are you are ok being unarmed/disarmed?
Gonzales v. Castle Rock -the Supreme Court has ruled.that the police have NO duty to protect us. NONE -they can't be sued for failing to protect us either.
"To Serve & Protect" is just so much hot air. The police are just playing dress-up cosplay as "protectors" because that is not really their job.
It's crazy that people don't understand this.
Exactly. Relying on others to risk their lives to save yours is a poor plan. That's not to say there isn't law enforcement out there that will indeed do that, but like you said, after the Parkland shooting the courts determined they have no obligation to do so.
On top of that, while I carry myself, that is for the protection of me and my family only. And my family needs me. I'm most likely not going to risk my life and my family's future, which includes potential legal consequences, to protect some stranger. Sorry, that's just reality. I'm sure many officers feel the same way in today's environment with DA's across the country chomping at the bit to throw officers in jail to further their political aspirations.
Hahaha police dont save anyone. They just write tickets. They dont stop human trafficking , catch murders, or stop school shootings, etc. Keep licking that boot buddy. They took an oath. They want to dress like soldiers they'd better act like them @plmn93
John, your reporting puts national media to shame. Your reporting deserves a Emmy! Your willingness to take on enduring questions in a non biased manner is very informative.
The left knows no shame
Stossel, once again, proving he's one of the last actual journalists out there.
Absolutely true. The clip with the police woman would not be shown anywhere else. John has courage 6:52
I only turned on to his channel recently after not having seen him for years and now I have been addicted. He covers such great stuff.
Love Stossel
I remember Mr. Stossel’s work on 20/20 with the ban on “scary” guns when I was a child; showing how much more damaging hunting rifles can be. This dude has been working to protect our lives for a long time. Thank you.
And this is why I love Stossel, truth and integrity in reporting.
In Switzerland, there is a fully automatic assault rifle in most homes. Yet we are so peaceful, how strange...
Mostly because of your "demographics....."
Because it's comparing apples to oranges. For all of its faults, I'm grateful that in my beautiful America, owning a firearm is a right, and that no stuffed-suit bureaucrat has the power to say to me "you don't need that."
Switzerland is peaceful, and because of it, people have the leisure of staying level-headed and realizing that the lawful person and the criminal have nothing to do with one another. I'm also sure that those weapons are very tightly controlled. But once there is a traumatic incident such as a school shooting, all rational thinking goes out the window and people will start screeching "ban the guns!" It happens all the time. Once-permissive countries such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand went that route because once they saw one bad actor willing to commit atrocity, they went the path of least resistance and saw every person who owned an AR-15 as the enemy, even though those lawful gun owners posed no threat. But most of the time, governments ban weapons, not because they can be used against the public, but because they can be used against them.
All I can say to you is this. Hope and pray Switzerland never experiences a jump in firearm-related crime, or that one or more people with these automatic weapons never decides to go on a shooting spree, because only then will you see your country's permissiveness and beliefs on the subject put to the test.
Thas raciss.
That is not true and you know it… stop it.
Switzerland has become the rare example of successful socialism. I believe it is because you have a culture of independence and responsibility, not dependence and blame.
I lived in Chicago for nearly 8 years and had my concealed carry permit. TWICE I thwarted armed robbers simply by having a pistol. I then called the police who did absolutely nothing since no crime was committed
The system is simply there to clean up the wreckage and possibly open a case to pursue any criminals who've committed crimes on camera and could be caught LATER. But anyone in their right mind knows that if you're at location X and crim crim Y whips out a weapon, there is NO UNIVERSE where some magical LEO is going to teleport in and handle everything. 😂 You either deal with the situation in 3-12 seconds, or else. "Else" meaning every OTHER second that passes gets you ever closer to taking a very sudden dirt nap.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat100%
They're worthless. I don't depend on them for sht.
And when people tell me not to call on them when I am a victim of crime I let them know I'd rather not. But then that could turn me into a criminal if I didn't report an incident.. dmned if you do, dmned if you don't.
As a white man when I have had crimes committed against me they want it turn it around me or they'll just cover up like they've done before and leave me screwed over. I have no use for them, no ill will towards them either but I would rather them just stay away.
@@Blankee-o1t it is, but the dispatcher told me to go in to the local station and 911 was not appropriate for the situation since no one was hurt and nothing was taken. Then all that happened was I filed a report and left.
And, that never made it into the statistics.
Thank you Mr. Stossel !
Thanks for telling the truth.
John has to be one of the top 5 journalists in my lifetime. A true journalist.
You must be old. I don't remember any better.

Thank you Mr. Stossel, for being honest.
Thank you for REPORTING FACTS and not pushing a narrative. I wish more Journalists had your integrity.
There are no other journalists. In fact, there are even few 'opinion hacks.' I know are paper is mostly Yahoo-esque and just pulls in articles from AP, New York Times, etc. Apple News does that, web sites do that. So like a dozen 'journalists' ('thought leaders' and 'influencers') create most of the noise for over 330 million people!
The majority of journalists are actually propagandists.
A while back in our small town in TN, a woman was divorcing her abusive husband. One evening he went to her home with a hatchet in hand. A neighbor saw this from across the road and quickly she got her handgun. She ran to the home she found the husband had his wife pinned in the bathroom. The children were quickly running from the home outside. The neighbor yelled to him to not do it and let her go, he didn’t. He raised the hatchet above his head and the neighbor shot him dead. She would be dead if the neighbor hadn’t done that. Good guys with guns really do save lives.
Guys AND gals! Never give up A2 rights!!!!
As a victim of a stabbing, I can assure you that the police arrive just in time to clean up the mess and write a report. They almost NEVER stop the bad guy prior to the bad guy doing bad things to innocent people. Ask a random cop about it and see what they say.
Yeah, but let's be honest. She probably had it coming. Husbands aren't "abusive" for no reason.
@@salazamuramoron
@@salazam How would you know ?
John, thank you for your reporting
John Stossel is someone everyone should watch.
Saying “There is no good guys with guns to stop mass shootings” is the most ridiculous take, because in the instances we see, there is no mass shooting, because its being prevented by a good guy with a gun. It’s the same as saying “there’s no seatbelt that stops multi-death car accidents.” It’s incoherent and dishonest.
Logic is kryptonite to the progressive left.
Yes, but mass shootings keep happening at an alarming rate, which means it doesn’t matter how many good guys with guns there are, because the shootings will keep on happening.
Good example of survivorship bias.
Poor analogy. Seatbelts don't help people drive better. A weapon prevents someone _else_ from doing violence. A seatbelt doesn't keep other drivers from crashing into you. A seatbelt would be more analogous to a bullet-proof vest.
Other truly civilised countries don't have mass shootings, that seems to be a uniquely 'merican thing...
I freaking love that Raul Mendez guy. Seems like a nice fellow with a beautiful family and thank God he was able to protect them that day and stand up for our rights!
Totally agree 👍
Colin Noir did an interview with him, go and check it out.
@@marflo6913 Been there, done that! I'm pretty sure Colion is the one who made me aware of this. We need more people like Colion and John Stossel!
Sad that he had to lose an eye because of some dumb a$$.
Raul Mendez came from AZ to San Diego this past weekend to share his story with an audience. Amazing story to listen from the man himself. I suggest to check out the video that the other commenter mentioned if you haven't heard the details. Until our society changes course, it's not getting any better.
The first 3 min was extremely hilarious for me. John pretty much spoke for me when it comes to my views on guns for the longest time which came from strong media influence and from the failure to ask questions or to think for myself.
A few years ago, before I retired, I was working in a neighborhood that was not the best. I was loading my van, preparing to leave, when I heard a commotion. I turned and saw a young man break away from his buddies on the corner and walk toward me at a rapid pace yelling loudly that he wanted what I had just loaded on the van. As he got nearer I turned to face him. His eyes went from my face down to my waist area, back to my face. Then his eyes got very large as he litterally skidded to a stop, turned and ran back to his friends yelling ‘I didn’t know he had a gun’! They all left the area. I left too. My gun was holstered and I never touched it. Its mere presence was enough to deter him from whatever he was going to do. This encounter was never part of anyone’s statistics as I never reported it to anyone but my coworkers. Things like this happen daily. Guns are a deterrent to crime.
I had some psycho, one-armed Karen confront me in a restaurant sometime last year because my allergies were acting up. She kept screaming about me wearing a mask. She even decided to pull up on our car as we were leaving to scream at me some more. I told her to fuck off as I got in my car. In the sideview mirror, I saw her SO get out of the car and take a couple steps toward us. I was open carrying that day (CO has a preemption and our county abides by it), and I guess the bitch was able to think coherently enough to remember it, because she convinced him to get back in the car and leave. I also carried during COVID, didn't wear a mask in plenty of places, and people left me alone. A couple people obviously wanted to say something, saw my sidearm, shut their mouths, and walked quickly past. An armed society IS, in fact, a polite society.
Therein lies the problem for the so-called Elites...they've imported a crime wave, south american gangs taking over cities, and they're now demanding the right to bear arms is rescinded. It's all planned.
I wish Florida was an open carry state rather than a concealed carry state, the mere presence of the gun is a deterrent.
Why would law enforcement report these things? It makes them look bad. (and they'll argue it will promote vigilantism or whatever). Least Sherrif Grady in Florida will just go all out and tell the truth.
Most local LEOs support the 2A Ammendment for legal, law-abiding citizens including CCW. This does not apply to State Police or National Guard.

Thank you so much, Stossel.
Thanks John you're Wonderful!!! The NRA has a magazine that tells at least 10 of these stories every month. It is TRUE "GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS STOP BAD GUYS WITH GUNS " Pretty much daily. THANKS JOHN!!!😊😊😊
The days of being able to trust the FBI are gone.
lol when did you ever trust the government?
Yeah, people aren't stupid, they know that the government lies to them.
The FBI have always been corrupt. Every FBI director has been fired in controversy.
When was that?
It's all about power. More 4 the govt, less 4 U
Remember: the CDC, under the orders of president Obama, found that between 600K-2M defensive gun uses occur _every year._
And unfortunately the Biden administration buried it from the CDC website at the bequest of the gun control groups.
Right. But then they removed those from cdc web site.. last year (2023) or something recent.
And under Biden at the behest of the same people who would come to staff the White House office of gun safety or wherever the f they call it, would have that report buried... Anti gun gun groups literally paid to have that office created and staffed by their own people pay to play style

Thanks John ! As always you report the truth not a narrative
Gotta hand it to that couple in the restaurant, the man drew and advanced, and the woman drew and immediately moved to keep him out of her line of fire. That speaks of good training and situational awareness.
I remember when that happened. They were both off-duty law enforcement officers.
Yeah but then they followed him outside (risky), and she didn't clear the right side when he went left (dumb). If the stickup kid had an armed accomplice outside at the door, they'd be perforated.
@@jungletekyeah, well most cops don't have much if any training on that type of stuff, unless they were operators in military and SF type history..
**the spray and pray firing with no clue or concerns with behind where they are firing is super common by police - stuff that'd have you or me in prison for life but never seems to matter because cops don't arrest other cops aside from 1 in a million highly publicized, highly rare instances..
@@SeanEnginetechnology Bullshit. They are heavily trained in the 4 basic rules of gun use. But when you have turd shooting at you 50 feet (or closer) you have to fire until they are down. Yes rounds miss but almost never is a bystander hit.
You missed the guy that stopped the church shooting, the dude that stopped the mall shooting and many, many more.
Stossel has been doing great work, for years, he deserves more credit. Great story Mr. Stossel, keep bringing great stories !
Thanks for the truth!
Freedom is scary. Deal with it.
We had an event like this here in Indiana. Gunman comes out of a restroom shooting in a mall food court. Local man with his open carry firearm takes him down. Saved god knows how many people. By the way, the mall is a "safe" gun free zone.
I remember that story, and the liberals got mad because that man went into a gun free zone with his concealed firearm.
"why do ytou rob banks?" A. '"because that is where the money is." "Why did he shoot up a school/mall/city hall?" A. " because they are gun free zones."
In the US, there are between 500,000 and 2,000,000 defensive gun uses per year. That is not rare at all.
That statistic was actually posted on the CDC website, until a certain anti 2ND Amendment President that's still supposedly still running our Country Demanded the Statistic be Removed immediately since it Clearly didn't fit his preferred Narratives.
Good work, Stossel!
I respect Stossel. He’ll tell you what the facts he found show-whether it supports his own presumptions or not. An honest broker. Not many of his kind left
John stossel should be the mainstream media,he reports facts,not biased political agendas.
That is why he is not in MSM.
He was in mainstream media but he got fired for siding with conspiracy theories, crazy right-wing positions and making fake news that his employers got sued so that is why he is on RUclips now.
MSM is on life support. John can report on what he wants and how he wants to report it since he's no longer in msm. His numbers dwarf most msm shows now and we have the option to show this to others unlike if he had a 30 min show at a certain time slot on an evening political news channel.
They used to hire him to give them the air of credibility but now they've disposed of all pretense and instead are just straight up obvious propaganda. Hence why no one watches except deranged ideologues or old people who don't know how to use the Internet lol
He used to be on ABC.
I, my wife and 2 kids, were staying in my dad's cabin that he had acquired from a relative who had his kid staying there. One night, there was a knock on the door, and someone yelled for Jimmy . I told him Jimmy didn't own the place anymore. When I opened door to tell them to leave it looked like he was about to step in untill he saw my 44 Magnum in my hand. I told him again that Jimmy didn't own the property anymore. He stepped back and told whoever he was with that they should go. I never reported that to any law enforcement agency
God bless you Brother -- it was after getting married that it truly became more than enjoying marksmanship, ESP after watching my first daughter being born and holding her 5 seconds later after cutting the cord- cause no one could ever possibly fight as hard as myself to protect those little angels and God forbid I could have been prepared but instead not had it!!
@ArshAZ83 NEVER open the door. Turds will claim you attacked them if you shoot one and he lives.
@ArshAZ83
You’ve made me think twice about reporting and I believe you’re exactly correct. The cops would disarm you. I’d rather have the headache of explaining why the guy is dead then not having the weapon.
@@TSLAaddict I mean... if you own a shovel you technically don't have to explain anything to anyone.
John Stossel, keep up the honest journalism that you do! There are very few journalists with your integrity!
Thank you for covering this story, John. Honest journalism is rare today and I applaud your efforts.
CDC estimates up to 3MILLION self-defense gun uses every single year in the US. They hid that study from on their site and you now need to dig deep to find it.
Let me repeat what I wrote previously, they are tasked with controlling DISEASE, it is right there in the name. Redefining gun violence as a health issue is government overreach by an agency trying to expand its power and control. The CDC needs to stay the f*** away from crime statistics and given their abysmal performance under Der Fuhrer, Fauci, concentrate on real disease.
Thank you…
I had heard that stat before but had no idea where to locate it. Curious, why would the CDC be maintaining that information and not the FBI???
@@jtfratangelo5270Because they think gun violence is a disease.
@@jtfratangelo5270 FBI is misrepresents nearly all public information where facts are not well known and the risk of rebuttal is minimal and extinguishable. look at Russia gate, Biden laptop, James Comey. He and others flat out Lied to congress about electronic voting machines having the capability of connecting to the internet or any network in any way. They all have communication ports, its a mater of if they are enabled in that manner or not, thats how they program them for each election, on a closed network from a host. Watch Kill Chain, Hacking democracy. The popular narrative is the one thats pushed as acceptable no matter the true facts because majority of Americans dont understand the truth but accept rumor or propaganda as the truth. It shows a series of manipulative disinformation designed to make the topic and questions go away so the narrative that is the agenda can move forward.
@jtfratangelo5270
It was an actual CDC study they performed.
It didn't fit the Dementia Patient's Narrative, so he demanded it be Removed from the website.
An armed society is a polite society
The opposite is also true. A disarmed society is a more like a state of nature world of anarchy and chaos and all of the crime that goes with it.
John Stossel - Thank God America still has " honest & true informants" like you serving.
The Southerland springs shooting was stopped by a guy who looks like Santa, who is also a nra shooting instructor. His daughter told him someone was shooting up the church, and he grabbed his ar15 and ran barefoot to the church. He shot the perp and stopped the shooting.
My wife's cousin is the Pastor at that church where he had a Fourteen (14) year old daughter murdered. There were twenty-six (26) people murdered ranging in age from an unborn child to a seventy-seven (77) year old man. Twenty-two (22) others were injured. You might notice that I say murdered and not killed because deliberate premeditated killing is murder.
And yet, the MSM dropped that story like a hot potato as soon as they found out that the nut-head was stopped by an NRA instructor.
That's why I always wear shoes. Die Hard taught me that much.
@@salazam 🤣
John Stossel has been speaking truth for years, and has suffered for it. I don't agree with him on everything, but I consider him one of the few legacy news sources that still has integrity and is still worth listening to.
Scariest words..”I’m with the government and I’m here to help”….gotta question everything unfortunately
@RodPriester Those are the famous words of one of our greatest Presidents, Ronald Reagan.
Department of Arbitrary and Capricious. Don't ask who I'm here to help.
John STOSSEL is the best out there. No one has done more for the cause in media
Let's not forget (unfortunately, I forgot the details) of the young man who shot a shooter in a mall a couple of years ago. As I remember it, the young man was quite a ways away, and he was so accurate because his grandfather taught him how to shoot. And, what happened?...he stopped the shooter, and then the politicians wanted him prosecuted because he had a gun in the mall.
Dickens was his name. Lots of us now practice "the dickens drill". This drill requires you to back on up to 40 yards and start concealed. At the beep, you had to draw and fire ten rounds within 15 seconds. To pass the drill, you need to land 8 rounds on target.
Yep, ya can't interfere with corporate sectioned population control.
@johnstossel is one of about three honest journalists in America today.
@donfss5088 Sharyl Attkisson, Stossel and Andy Ngo are the only three that come to mind immediately.
@@islandtech1963 Glenn Greenwald too.
One of the many reasons I respect John Stossel. A liberal who is actually open-minded to look at the other side. If it makes sense, he's willing to change his views. As a retired police officer, I looked at legal gun carrying citizens as my backup if I ever needed it.
I worked in law enforcement for a number of years, and I responded to many calls in which a citizen had used a firearm in self defense, or to protect others. Law enforcement officers actually appreciate very much when citizens put criminals out of business, and save us and the state the expense of the paperwork and costs when an officer gets involved in a shooting. Honestly, I can think of at least a hundred such calls.
There are 400 million registered guns in this country. By now it should be abundantly clear that gun violence would be 500% more prevalent were it not for the overwhelmingly responsible owners of those guns. Its more often the illegally owned guns that are responsible for gun violence. I dont own one, don't care to, but I fully support the 2nd amendment because I know if a gun ban would become law, the lawful guns would be seized, and the illegal ones would still be in the hands of evil doers. I dont need politically misrepresented FBI statistics to figure that out. Common sense.
They should not have to register; especially with the government!
One study asked criminals in a jail how they obtained the gun they used to commit their crimes. More than 70% acquired them illegally.
Laws don't stop criminals. Locking criminals away for a long time stops them.
@@ralphregan1473supposed to be illegal I thought -- but then again since when has gobt's EVER held themselves criminally responsible for ANYTHING!?! I mean knowing how the Fed's have enacted, mostly successfully, false flag events murdering innocent good American people to change the heart's and mind's of the public at large so they had backing to invade other countries and numerous other reasons, think gaining visual public (noisy few at least)support for violating the 2nd amendment of everyone and obviously much more by some of the worst criminals with a monopoly on "legalized" violence..
@@ralphregan1473
So criminals will register their guns to
America does not have a gun registration. A couple of left wing states or cities have a local registration, but most gun in America are registered, nor are they required to be. It's actually illegal for the federal government to create a gun registration.
Cities with hardest gun laws are most crime ridden
That’s when civilians need to start acting like criminals and own them anyways. If the law’s gonna side with criminals, then it’s better to be one for your own safety
Are they? Then why Dallas, Houston, Philly, Chicago, San Antonio, Phoenix have gun homicide rate twice exceeding San Jose, San Francisco, New York or even Los Angeles?
I've used my gun to save someone else before so it does happen when the cops got there they didn't even say a word to me they just gave me a thumbs up
Must not live in a police state like mexifornia or new york because subjects are not permitted to defend themselves there
Good on you
Thanks John
John Stossel, you sir, are a national treasure and should be protected at all costs. Of only the rest of the media could be even half as truthful, the world would be a better place.
OUTSTANDING!
This is my nominee, Mr. John Stossel. For, the excellence in journalism award!
When bad people think homeowners are armed. They go to the neighbor without guns instead.
Truth. There was a big newspaper scandal in the. NY suburbs when my folks lived there. A paper published a map of honest with guns. They had to take it down
@@georgewagner7787 Somebody should have been sued pennyless for that.
Thank you Mr. Stossel. Reporter.
The less knowledge they let you know the better they like it. Easier to push for gun control enforcement.
I'm in the Bay Area where probably only 25% or born Americans and only 2% grew up here; I love when people from Europe or even Australia tease about America 'and all these guns,' I tell them to get out...
JS really knows how to piss you off in the hook. I remember it as a kid on 20/20 or 60 minutes or whatever other was. My parents would watch, but when JS came on it ALWAYS caught my little ears. He is a master of roping you in. His style is like pure liquid respect, never telling you, always asking you to tell him. Amazing. Love you @John Stossel
The stats of the good are much higher than the bad guys.
Something like five times higher if I remember correctly. There were several large scale studies done back in the day. They are never cited anymore. Instead there's a new database that uses flawed tactics to record gun interactions. I suspect it'll get used to push this anti-2a agenda.
John, you are the man. Keep up the awesome work, sir.
‘The FBI somehow missed it’. The biggest understatement of the century!!
FBI seemed to be missing a lot lately 🤔
The FBI doesn't keep track of home invasions either.
I found it out when I became a victim of one. They justify it by saying that it's a bunch of different crimes that get counted, like assault, breaking and entering, armed robbery, ect. But the invasion itself is not a category that's counted.
Shall not be infringed
Necessary for the security of a free state.
It Definitely Was Not a Suggestion! 🇺🇲👍✌️
Thank you for this amazing reporting and spreading the true we ALL know.
I truly think this is how a reporter should, report, fair and honest journalism. Thank you Jon for being a great journalist 😊
Imagine letting a career politician convince you that giving up your first AND second amendment rights will keep you safe. Lol!
“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

I attended several alphabet training classes, I was surprised the first time how the constitution and bill of rights is an “inconvenience” for these agencies.
Which is EXACTLY the point of the Constitution and Bill of Rights!
Thank you for the real facts!
The big thing to remember is that a cop *can* be a good guy with a gun, or *can* be a bad guy with a gun too.
With as many botched paramilitary police raids in America as are reported by the Cato Institute, i must suggest that, more often than not, the police are the bad guys with guns and not the other way around.
Two examples that come to mind from a couple years ago of CC citizens stopping mass shooters: 1) shooter in a church was taken out by church member 2) shooter in a food court at a mall was taken out by a guy shopping with his gf
Dry fire practice two days a week at home, and go to the gun range once a month. After one year of doing that, you will have a better shot than 50% of law enforcement officers. Trust me, I used to work at an Academy for one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the country, most of these people can barely pass qualifications, and they hate their own firearms.
Thank you, John, for always digging for truth.
