Action America is where I got the Gun Self Defense clock on the top left above. They have other "clocks" and a ton of interesting information about important issues on their site. Though it is not updated regularly and tends to be Mac-oriented, it is worth browsing through.

I found this factoid they posted on self defense to be interesting:
Guns are used for self-defense between 2.1 Million and 2.5 Million times every year. The following facts from the Kleck/Gertz study relate directly to this fact.

In the vast majority of those self-defense cases, the citizen will only brandish the gun or fire a warning shot.
In less than 8% of those self-defense cases will the citizen will even wound his attacker.
Over 1.9 million of those self-defense cases involve handguns.
As many as 500,000 of those self-defense cases occur away from home.
Almost 10% of those self-defense cases are women defending themselves against sexual assault or abuse.
This means that guns are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of law-abiding citizens than to take a life.
