I don't know how "many" people there are "protected" in this way. And I suspect that neither do you. So I'm not sure you CAN know that the number of rage shootings outweighs the number of defensive shootings. I wasn't compareing rage shootings to defencive shootings. I was compareing "people have so much rage in them they can kill someone over children's sports, or 'roadrage'", to defensive use of firearms. Defensive use is not limited to shooting. If you attack me, and I shoot you, or scare you away with a gun, or hold you at bay until I can turn you over to a cop (all of which would be hard for me to do as I do not own a gun), then it would have been an example of defensive use of a firearm. Defensive uses of firearms outnumber the combined incidents of road rage shootings and murders over children's sports by an enormous amount. Tim
