#1  How many times did US citizens (all races and colors) use their personal firearms in SELF-DEFENSE and/or the halting of a Crime?

A 2021 survey estimated that guns are used 1.67 million times per year in self-defense in the United States..

According to several Black Community sources that do not have independent official data to verify.

Depending on the source (BLACK GUNS MATTER, BLM, and etc.)
The Black Community use of Firearms in Self Defense is roughly 34 to 40% of the estimated 1.2 Million situations. Which seems in line with FBI crimes tables for B.O.B. crime rates.

BTW: When will the DOJ/FBI release the complete 2019 Crime Tables

☺ Should we expect the 2020 & 2021 crime tables in 2025 after the National elections?
