There is no way to give an exact answers to that- since it cannot be predicted that an assault will end in murder. One researcher claims Defensive Gun Use (DGU) at 2 million times a year in the US. Another researcher claims it is no more than 100,000 times a year. Most researchers feel a number around 370,000 times a year is more accurate. In the debate on prohibiting private ownership of guns, it should be considered that even the very low estimates are still a LOT of uses to defend against unlawful attack- and that cannot simply be ignored.

Estimates vary, but some studies suggest that defensive gun use may prevent hundreds of thousands of crimes, including murders, each year in the United States. However, it is difficult to provide an exact number due to data limitations and the complexity of evaluating such incidents.

How many murders are committed by firearms in the U.S. each year?
People like to say things like, "There are hundreds every day!" but that isn't correct. According to the FBI, the total number of murders is between (approximately) 15,500 and just over 17,000 each year, but that is murders with all types of weapons. Using the highest figure, 17,000, that puts the total number of murders in the U.S. at just over 46 per day. It looks like the percentage of those murders committed with firearms is about 68%. However, for reference, it should be noted that only about 25-28% of aggravated assaults involve guns, so the fact that 68% of murders involve guns, doesn't mean that 68% of all crime involves guns.

In 2006, the number of murders in the U.S. was just over 17,000. In 2007, it was a little under 17,000. That is NOWHERE NEAR "hundreds every day," and that includes murders from all types of weapons.
