A very difficult question to accurately answer. The answer depends on which study you want to read.

How many of those uses resulted in someon…e being "saved" is an open question- we cannot say that someone WOULD have died until they DO die. Without question, there IS a large number of events where people have used a firearm- or the threat of a firearm- to protect themselves from an attack. Just my personal belief- you will not find an accurate number, since in many cases, people that have defended themselves do not attempt to report the crime, but remain silent out of fear of being prosecuted for defending themselves.

How many people are for gun control?
You need to define the term "gun control". In the US, there are several thousand different laws on guns. Laws that cover who can own a gun, who (and where) a gun can be carried, size of the gun, what it can be made of, how many shots it can hold, etc etc. The problem is, people that do not follow la…ws that forbid robbery, murder, theft, kidnapping- ALSO do not follow gun laws. The result is that laws mainly affect honest people that do not break the law. Several countries have effectively banned private ownership of guns, in the belief that it would reduce crime. However, they have since found that crime rates INCREASE after such a ban, since law abiding persons now have lost the ability to defend themselves. ( Full Answer )

How many people bought a guns in the US 2012?
That is not easily answerable. US constitutional law prohibits the accumulation of this information into a central database. Also a large portion of sales in the US are secondary private sales from one owner to a new owner and not regulated. Dealers are required to log every sale in a register (log …book) but are not required to notify the government of a sale, with the exception that they MUST run a background check on each purchaser and maintain that record. Any number of gun sales in the US can only be estimated. With all available information I could only estimate that in the past 8 months that between 10 and 12 million gun sales have occurred in the US so far in 2012 based on a report in 2011 that 14 million background checks had been made, extrapolating that forward and adding 25% guesstimating that 20% of sales are private sales.
