One thing to also note is that the CDC is collecting data on nonfatal incidents. This is called funded surveillance, in their own parlance. Surfing to the page you would be surprised to find that they are not using crime statistics from law enforcement, but from local health departments. How can this information be of use as it must be reported by law enforcement to the health departments? Thinking further, what other data would the health departments be supplying above and beyond the crimes stats? Maybe from hospitals and injuries, but what use is this? The CDC itself admits that the data collected is limited.
The right to self defense is not determined by a statistic, just like the right to not take an experimental vaccine is also not determined by a statistic. It is an individual’s choice, it is an exercise in Natural Law, it is the exercise of your own sovereignty of your mind.
What irony it is that the same organization who has concealed statistics and or omitted statistics regarding gun use in crime and self defense in order to create a narrative and shape decisions is the same agency who refused to publish information regarding the mRNA vaccines. Clearly they don’t believe in honesty, because they want to paint a picture that forces your decision by removing facts from the discussion.
What does that say about how the CDC views your freedom of choice and the right to exercise your own judgment? And how bitterly ironic it is that the CDC has lied yet again about infections, whether COVID or the supposed contagious nature of gun violence.
