Why The Mainstream Media Drastically Underreports Defensive Gun Use
Defensive Gun Use

Gun crimes dominate the mainstream media's attention, while gun use in self-defense gets merely a tiny fraction of the headlines.
Americans across the country have used guns to defend themselves and thwart crimes, but the reports often fly under the radar, and most people are unaware of how often guns are used in self-defense cases.
"Having a gun is by far the safest course of action when people are facing a criminal by themselves," Dr. John Lott, an economist and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center told Fox News Digital.
In a typical year, Lott said that the media reports about 2,000 defensive gun use stories, but he added, "that is a dramatic undercount because the vast majority of successful self-defense cases don't make the news."
Lott said there are about 2 million defensive gun uses per year, according to the average of 18 national surveys.
Lott said that people using guns in self-defense overwhelmingly don’t even lead to a criminal being killed or wounded.
"Ninety-five percent of defensive gun uses involve merely brandishing a gun, and less than 1% involve the attacker being killed or wounded. But most news stories only report on cases where attackers are killed and brandishings are ignored. It is understandable that someone getting killed is more newsworthy than a woman brandishing a gun and the criminal running away without committing a crime, but from a policy perspective we care about both cases," he said.
