More Guns Less Crime



This book by Dr. John R. Lott, Ph.D., an academician liberals should love in their usual  “I.Q. Adoration Syndrome,” IQAS,” think anyone “real smart” can do no wrong, hold public office and land an airliner if the pilot dies, but not so for Dr. Lott.  He is a (gasp) conservative!

Dr. Lott held research positions at academic institutions including University of Chicago, Yale University, Wharton School at University of PennsylvaniaUniversity of Maryland and the American Enterprise Institute.  His Ph.D. in  Economics is from UCLA,  His research areas are econometrics, forensic economics public choice theory, industrial organization, public finance, microeconomics, labor and environmental regulation.

Dr. Lott studied gun crime data from states finding 22 had much less gun crime. All  had conceal carry laws! Criminals know anyone can whip out a pistol and respond in bullets.  This is a simple fact, but beyond liberal capacity. We saw this confirmed when Dr. Lott (lower right corner) was interviewed by Piers Morgan and Alan Dershowitz in a typical TV ambush of “real smart” liberals flogging one conservative while frothing at the mouth, side-stepping Dr. Lott’s facts, data and analyses.

Why is any of this a mystery when the murder rate in America was one per 100,000 per year in the era of the gunfighter between our Civil War and World War I?  Today with all our gun laws the rate is ten per 100,000 nationally and 200 to 300 per year in cities with very strict gun control laws.  Could it be “Progressive” educators kept the facts from our books?  Oh pshaw!.

It is clear from his behavior James Holmes would not have gone into that theater to kill people if he thought they would shoot back.  He had body armor documenting his fear.  He knew well that not only were there anti-gun laws in Aurora, Colorado, but the theater had a “no guns” restriction even on public safety people.  They are, in fact, asking for such attackers with that stricture.

It is it any surprise the only three people on Colorado’s Death Row are from Aurora, Colorado?   It has very strict anti-gun laws since the nearby Columbine massacre.  More guns, less crime.

  1. The radio news is reporting that this mass murderer sent a detailed book about what he planned to do, and how he planned to do it, to a Psychiatrist at University of Colorado, that sat in the mail room for a week. It was just delivered Monday.
    NOW THEY TELL US!!!

  2. This is the kind of story you can only hope is not true, but having been raised on a college campus by two college professors I can believe it.

    The average person has no idea how much time some academics can waste, but sometimes you have to dream to make an advance, but not all the time.

    What would be even worse, and also believable, would be that a psychiatrist got, read it and did nothing about it. Witness Penn State and the Sandusky affair. Not a lot worse in my book is the Michael Mann affair. After the East Anglia University email scandal broke and Mann so severely implicated himself in 17 emails that I found, where only one was well publicized, the Penn State Faculty Senate absolved Mann of any wrongdoing! The reason? He pulls in millions in grants. It is always the money. Academia has long been corrupt.
