Book review: The War on Guns, by John Lott

’ve just finished reading one of the best books on gun control to come out in some time and wanted to share some of the experience with you. The timely and superbly written tome by John R. Lott Jr. is titled, “The War on Guns: Arming Yourself Against Gun Control Lies.”

You may remember John Lott from our previous coverage here of both gun control and crime in the United States. Some of his previous work included an analysis of the different ways that economists and criminologists view gun ownership, which he revisits in this book. Long before that, John had done some groundbreaking research on crime statistics in America, much of which I drew on when I compiled, The truth about gun deaths: Numbers and actual solutions.

This is a truly remarkable book which should be on everyone’s must read list. In his usual fashion, John goes past the usual talking points which infest cable television debates and takes on some of the most sacred cows of the gun control lobby, tossing their filleted remains straight onto the grill. . . .

I just bought this book. I hope my purchase encourages Doctor Lott to continue helping us with this fight.

The left keeps saying “We don’t want to take your guns”, then Hillary says, “We need to look at what Australia did.”
They want to seize every legally-owned gun in America.

Well, what they WANT is to decide where we live, where we work and what we consume (Meaning ounces of food and milliliters of water)

The guns are just something that has to happen before that goal.
