Yeah, I heard someone on NPR in the last week or so explaining why


that 2 million times number is bogus.

I also have a bit of an issue with the defense that the government numbers are vastly understated because some people would be reluctant to report they used a gun. Why? If the person is a legal gun owner and used the gun in defense, why would they be reluctant to report that? Now if the person has illegal possession and/or used the gun in self defense while involved in criminal behavior, I can understand THAT not being reported...but those people are part of the problem, not the solution
