Spot on. In the gun control debate, the topic of DGUs (defensive gun use) -intentionally avoided. Gun control advocates have buried the CDC study that estimates there are as many as 2.5 million DGUs annually. The doesn't mean the gun was fired. A DGU can be a situation where a gun is brandished to thwart a threat. Other groups have attempted to estimate annual DGUs...low end is 100,000. Bottom line, guns are used to stop crime far more often than they are used to commit a crime.
