Obamacare, Stimulus, and Other Disasters

"John Lott is best known to the public for his outstanding analysis of gun control legislation, but his research as an economist extends far beyond that topic; and he here gives us a devastating account that covers the full range of the Obama Administration’s economic policy. One would expect a book by John Lott to say something informative about gun control, and our author does not disappoint us. It transpires that he met President Obama when both of them served on the law school faculty of the University of Chicago." Continue reading →

Concealed Carry Proves Guns Are Part of Solution to Gun Violence

"In his seminal work, 'More Guns, Less Crime,' scholar John Lott brought together FBI crime stats to show not only that concealed carry lowers crime but that it it lowers violent crime especially. During the early 1990s, as concealed carry laws were being instituted around the country, Lott observed the impact on crime at the county level: 'When state concealed-carry handgun laws went into effect in a county, murder fell by about 8 percent, rapes fell by 5 percent, and aggravated assaults fell by 7 percent.'

But in recent weeks at least two people have been killed on those paths." Continue reading →
