"If economist John R. Lott didn't exist, pro-gun advocates would have had to invent him."

RKBA supporters hardly need to rely on Lott, when liberal criminologists James Wright, Peter Rossi and Gary Kleck do a perfectly fine job of destroying gun control mantras. All three started their careers assuming a relationship between the raw number of guns in the U.S. and gun violence ---- until their research caused them to do an about-face.

Go to Amazon and check out the book "Gun Control - The Liberal Skeptics Speak Out". Written quite a while back, but still full of good information from liberal scholars including Colin Greenwood from the UK who debunks the assertion that Great Britain became a violence-free paradise once that nation restricted gun rights.
