Accidental Gun Deaths:

According to data from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), accidental shootings result in around 500 deaths per year in the U.S. Thousands more are injured due to accidental discharges, particularly children and teenagers.

Self-Defense Usage:

A study published in the journal Injury Epidemiology found that guns are used for self-defense in less than 1% of all crimes. In 2021, the National Crime Victimization Survey reported that there were only about 70,000 instances of gun use in self-defense annually, compared to millions of crimes.

accidental shooting导致美国每年约有500人死亡，数千人受伤，尤其是儿童和青少年。

只有1%不到的犯罪事件真正用到枪进行自卫。

 另外，A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that people living in homes with guns are more likely to be victims of homicide or suicide than they are to use the gun in self-defense.
