About CCRKBA & SAF
“Winning rearms freedom one lawsuit at a time.”
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is a

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and
Bear Arms (CCRKBA), founded in 1971, is dedicated
to protecting your rearms rights. Our role is to
educate grass root activists, the public, legislators
and the media. Our programs are designed to help allAmericans understand the importance of the Second

8/7/2019 Guns Save Lives Truck Brochure

Guns save many American lives every day.
While an exact number of Defensive Gun Uses
is nearly impossible to calculate (most are notreported), studies have suggested that number
ranges from a few hundred thousand to over
three million per
year. A ground-
breaking 1995
study by Dr. Gary
Kleck of Florida
State University
estimated the
number at over 2.5 million
annually. This
research was con rmed a year later by the Police
Foundation in a National Institute of Justice funded
study. These studies were done in the mid-90’s, at
a time during which defensive gun carry was more
limited. Since 1990 the number of “shall-issue”
states has increased from 16 to 40, and more are
on the way. With more Americans lawfully carrying
guns, it can reasonably be assumed that theseguns are being used more often in self-defense.
Our estimate of 2,191 is based on a very
conservative number of 800,000 uses. That is less
than one third of the number from Dr. Kleck’s study.
Based on that estimate and most other studies on
the topic, OVER 2,191 Americans use guns for a
defensive purpose every day.
That means over 2,191 Americans were able
to prevent a crime and possibly save their lives,just today, because they had a gun. The only
conclusion that can be rationally reached is that
guns save thousands of lives every year.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), New
York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s pet project,
recently launched a national propaganda effort andcorresponding website called xgunchecks.org. While
the premise of improving the accuracy of the NICS
system is laudable, the true anti-gun message can be
seen when we look past
their costume. MAIG’s
rolling billboard truck
features a count of the
number of people they
claim are murdered with
guns on one side and astatistic image claiming
34 of those murders
happen daily on the other
side. Unsurprisingly, their
numbers appear to be infl ated when compared with
the latest Department of Justice statistics available
(http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/homicide/tables/
weaponstab.cfm). Taking their suggested rate of 34
per day for a year, the overall number of gun murders
they suggest is more than 10% higher than thegovernment’s latest overall number for gun homicides.
Homicide also includes justi able shootings, hence
the real number of actual criminal murders is even
smaller. Nonetheless, their literature and messaging
shows their true colors: support for extremist anti-gun,
anti-self-defense policies with the goal of making all
Americans suffer the indignities of New York City style
gun control.
THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WE CANAFFORD TO LOSE!
Your contribution to support this effort to counter
Mayor Bloomberg’s war on gun is needed now!

Bloomberg & MAIG:
Looking Past the CostumeWhile hiding behind the costume idea of xing
the NICS system, the list of policies MAIG really
supports, according to their own website, includes
a variety of things that many would nd shocking:
• They vociferously oppose right-to-carry
reciprocity, backing the idea that states should
be able to have outright bans on the carrying of guns for self-defense.
• They support a federal gun registration scheme
that would allow all law enforcement to track and
record every gun transaction or purchase.
• They want to abolish gun shows in every state
across the nation.
• They want to ban the most commonly usedsporting rifl es and defensive handguns in
America by declaring them “Assault Weapons,”
and ban the standard capacity magazines that
go into these rearms to make those that remain
in civilian hands less effective.
THESE ARE NOT REASONABLE REGULATIONS.
Help keep uson the road!
