I Analyzed 50 Years of Gun Violence Data. Here's What Nobody Tells You

Show Notes

Dr. John Lott reveals why gun registries fail to solve crimes despite consuming thousands of police hours annually. The conversation examines how media misrepresents gun violence statistics, the ineffectiveness of assault weapons bans, and why gun-free zones increase danger rather than reduce it. Lott presents data showing registration systems in Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Maryland have solved virtually zero crimes while costing millions. The discussion covers mass shooting facts, semi-automatic weapons misconceptions, and the stark funding disparity between gun control advocacy and gun rights research. Lott explains how AR-15s function identically to other firearms despite cosmetic differences, and why confiscation often follows registration despite initial government promises.
