I don't see that number on that site. Instead, I see:
> The report Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violenceexternal icon indicates a range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year.
That's equivalent to saying we have almost no idea how often guns are used defensively.
