you know, i agree with this guy but he’s a shill for the gun industry, not a professor.

John R. "Lott is the author of 'Freedomnomics' and a senior research scientist at the University of Maryland."

IIRC, Lott has a Ph.D. in economics, and he’s a shill for the Second Amendment. Before the University of Maryland, he was at SUNY at Binghamton, the American Enterprise Institute and the University of Chicage, IIRC.

"This summer I will be moving to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice."

he has had many positions. he moves around a lot due to his little arrangements. his salary is never paid for by the school itself, but by grant organizations with their own agenda's.

at chicago, for one, his salary was paid for by the olin foundation which endows the university. now, there have been many olin professor's and not all of them have been of lott's ilk, but lott seems to thrive on this type of situation as do the prestigious schools at which he teaches.
