More Guns, Less Crime? John Lott on FBI Data, Defensive Gun Use and Constitutional Carry
Description
New FBI crime data and the hidden truth about defensive gun use demolish one of the gun-control movement’s favorite claims: that more lawful gun ownership automatically produces more violent crime.
Crime Prevention Research Center President Dr. John Lott joins Mark Walters and Arizona Representative Quang Nguyen to explain why estimates of defensive gun use range from 60,000 to roughly 2.5 million incidents annually—and why surveys may miss encounters where merely displaying a firearm stops an attack.
They also examine the dramatic expansion of constitutional carry, the millions of Americans legally carrying firearms and the growing evidence that armed citizens make crime riskier for criminals. Mark and Quang share their own defensive-gun-use experiences, while Lott warns about the coming Supreme Court battle over so-called “assault weapons” bans and efforts to reshape the Court.
