Anyone have any statistics on how many people have used AR-15 to defend themselves vs. the number of people who have used AR-15s to slaughter innocent people?

Asking for a country.

@teamtrace I was told you may be a source for said statistic, if anyone had it. Would you know?

Ah, that article skips the stat I’m asking about. Doesn’t mention AR-15s at all.

That would be really hard to determine. The best tracking system only tracks gun use not type of gun used. There latest report suggests that in 2018 there were 70,000 defensive gun uses n the US while there were 484,800 firearm victims in the same period.

Look at #8 on the thread I have pinned as a list of news agencies here on Spoutible. I think if anyone would know, it'd be them. And if they don't, they could probably point you in the right direction.

A great question. Hard to believe I've never heard it asked. Still, I'm certain no one has a definitive answer. Most jurisdictions do not keep these kinds of stats and when they do, it takes an act of God and a lawsuit to get them. One of many problems with 50 little countries vs 1big one.
