The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a lot to answer for, and, no doubt, the current leadership has its work cut out, depoliticizing the country’s supposedly premier law enforcement agency. The latest skeleton to fall out of the closet concerns how the Bureau has been vastly undercounting the number of cases of defensive gun use by armed Americans. The only reason for deliberately doing such a thing would have been orders coming down from Justice Department top brass – or from the White House – to hide the many, many times each year across America that privately owned guns have been used to save lives.

If your agenda is to turn public opinion against gun ownership and spread the fear of gun violence, the last thing you want is people knowing guns can be, and often are, used to deter or prevent crime.

On Aug. 22, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) published a shocking study detailing “massive errors” in FBI Active Shooting Reports from 2014 to 2024. Considering the volume of evidence of the Bureau acting in accordance with a politically partisan agenda over the course of these very same years, it is not unreasonable to suspect that discrepancies in the FBI data were not innocent errors.

On the other hand, it is perhaps possible for the FBI to claim the wildly inaccurate numbers are those provided by police and sheriff departments and state police around the country. Maybe the errors – or perhaps the deliberate under-reporting – were local issues.

One could speculate that law enforcement departments in Democratic jurisdictions may themselves have decided to disregard known instances of defensive gun use. Democrats, after all, are fond of claiming it is almost unheard of for an armed civilian to save lives. The left-wing media, using FBI data, frequently make the same assertion.

In summary, between 2014 and 2024, the FBI recorded 374 active shootings and 14 cases of defensive gun use. The CPRC counted 561 active shootings and 202 instances of armed civilian intervention.

The FBI defines an active shooting – not to be confused with a mass shooting – as incidents in which an individual actively kills or attempts to kill people in a populated public area.

Not included are shootings related to gang violence or other criminal activity. So, an active shooting is one whose sole purpose is the shooting – and there need not be any casualties. Any attempt to shoot people in a public area – regardless of outcome – is an active shooting. CPRC used the same definition but even excluded 31 cases in which armed civilians intervened and suspects did not fire their weapons.

Over the whole time period, then – according to the FBI – defensive gun use by civilians occurred in just 3.7% of all active shootings. CPRC puts it at 36%. A massive difference. The Bureau reports say there was not a single incidence of defensive gun use during active shootings in 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024. By contrast, CPRC found that armed civilians confronted active shooters in almost 30% of cases in 2019, in nearly 38% of 2020 active shootings, in more than 30% of 2023 incidents, and, in 2024, defensive gun use was a factor in 47.8% of active shootings.

CPRC came up with its own numbers by compiling local media reports of defensive gun use incidents. The FBI relies on reports from state and local law enforcement agencies, which are a matter of discretion rather than being mandatory.

A council in the county of Essex, close to London, has been ridiculed for offering emotional support to employees they claim are feeling unsettled by seeing so many people raising the national flag in the streets of towns and cities across the country.

As we have highlighted, the action is being taken by everyday people in Britain who are sick to the back teeth of mass illegal immigration and the fallout it’s having on their communities.

An email sent to staff by Essex County Council states that it is “aware of the increasing visibility of St George’s and Union Jack flags displayed on road signs, bridges and trees in parts of Essex”.

The email continues, “While these symbols may hold different meanings for different people, we recognise that for many – particularly our colleagues of colour – they can evoke feelings of discomfort and be associated with anti-immigration rhetoric”.
