John R. Lott Jr. Words of Wisdom #motivation #wisdoms #selfconfidence...

John R. Lott Jr. is an American economist and political commentator known for his research and writings on gun rights and crime. He is the author of several books, including "More Guns, Less Crime," which argues that increasing gun ownership reduces crime rates. Lott has held various academic and research positions, including roles at the University of Chicago, Yale University, and the American Enterprise Institute. He is also the founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, a nonprofit organization that conducts research on crime and public safety issues. Lott's work is often cited in debates over gun control, but it has also been subject to significant criticism and controversy.

City Where Emergency Response Time Is 36 Minutes Wants to Ban Civilians Carrying Guns for Protection

By: John R. Lott Jr In 2023, New Orleans had the third highest per capita murder rate in the country according to the FBI. Last week, New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick claimed that the city can lower this rate by creating a “firearm-free” zone encompassing the French Quarter and beyond. Kirkpatrick is particularly concerned about the dangers of Louisiana’s new Constitutional Carry…

Over 60% of ‘active shooters’ stopped by ‘good guy with a gun’

A large percentage of “active shooter” incidents are thwarted by armed citizens who sometimes don’t even fire their weapons, but those cases are no longer counted under President Joe Biden’s pro-gun control policies.

According to just-released data from the Crime Prevention Research Center, 41% of active shooting incidents were stopped by armed civilians.

Outside of so-called gun-free zones, which bar the legal carrying of firearms, over 63% of active shooting cases were ended by an armed civilian, according to the center.

The new data from John R. Lott Jr., the former Justice Department senior adviser for research and statistics, are his latest to challenge undercounting and bias in government reports on shootings and back up efforts by Second Amendment and police groups to encourage people to carry firearms.

Lott continually updates his data to include all the cases, including those the government overlooks or misclassifies, to counter media reports that it is rare for civilians to put down active shooters. His information is especially critical since the Biden administration stopped counting defensive actions by civilians.

Report: Armed Citizens Stop Active Shooters 8x More Often Than FBI Claims

[bighermie]

As gun violence has spiked across the country, Republicans have pointed to the steady stream of shootings in Democratic-controlled cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis to argue that strict gun laws are not the main driver of mayhem.  

.

In response, Democrats and their supporters have tried to turn the tables on the GOP by noting that gun violence is highest in Republican states: “Gun Violence Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close,” a headline in Politico proclaimed;  “Red States Have Higher Gun Death Rates Than Blue States,” Forbes reported. 

.

The conflicting storylines underscore how various data sets and definitions can be used to politicize and spin the problem of violent crime in the U.S., proving again Mark Twain’s caution about “lies, damned lies and statistics.” Depending on the framing, accurate sets of numbers can be assembled to tell starkly different stories about mass shootings, school shootings, and the overall correlation between gun ownership and gun violence. 

.

“You have two problems with these discussions,” noted Carl Moody, an economics professor at the College of William & Mary. “Even if you are going to look at one year for state data, you have to be very careful that the results don’t depend on the particular year that you pick. In addition, states don’t enforce the laws, local governments enforce them” – meaning success or failure in law enforcement lies with the latter.

Gun innumeracy strikes again

I came across a distilled bit of nonsense about guns and crime that you will appreciate. “Research by John R. Lott Jr. highlights just how geographically concentrated the murder problem is in the United States. Of the more than 3,000 counties in the country, 52 percent had zero murders in 2020, while the 31 counties with the highest murder rates (the worst 1 percent) had 42 percent of the…

CDC Funding Decisions Based on Politics, Not Science

CDC Funding Decisions Based on Politics, Not Science

By John R. Lott Jr. for RealClearInvestigations For the second year in a row, the Centers for Disease Control has been caught ignoring science and letting liberal interest groups set its policies. In 2021, the American Pediatric Academy and the Children’s Hospital Association tracked COVID-19 statistics in children and the data show no relationship between mask mandates and the rate at which…
