I spotted a bumper sticker tonight that said:

Guns Save Lives!
2.5 Million Self-Defense Uses Per Year​

My research shows that number is closer to 670,000.

What do you think? Any objective, third-party links to back up this or a different claim?

IIRC, that number was from a government agency look-see that was asked for by obama, and then promptly ignored/forgotten when the number was way more than he wanted it to be. I have a bumper sticker from VCDL with that info.
