The POINT of that part of my post was to show that, using a non conservative website, the CDC did in fact post data on defensive gun incidents. My post was not suggesting that the data shown in the article was the most current. The absence of the more current data does not prove that the data as quoted by the poster was not accurate. While it doesn't fit the narrative, there are multiple websites that make the same data references. One would think that the CDC would have challenged the reporting of the data as inaccurate at the time of those reports. Where can we find those documented reported challenges?
Should your position be that you can't find the cited data on the CDC website so it should be dismissed, then PROVE that the cited data was never on the CDC website.
