This is the information the OldDominantLiberalMedia have suppressed, in some cases, for decades. They have done this for the most part because it involves a reality that they do not want to recognize.

It is dangerous to speculate about motives, but I am convinced that most liberals are unwilling to hear the truth about guns because it contradicts their whole world view.

I have periodically seen letters to the editors that attempt to discredit Lott's work. They cite two professors study that supposedly discredits Lott's studies. I have read Lott's response to that study and found what he says to be reasonable. What is the status of this pi**ing contest? Who is right and who is wrong?

Great article MeanDaddy I am in whole hearted agreement with you, and I would like to know the source you got your statistics from? I would like to use your statistics and would need to know their source. The truth is a powerful tool!

Eleven years ago, I was leaving an ATM after making a withdrawal. A man, apparently high on something, approached me and said,"Buddy I need some money and I want yours." All I had to do was open my jacket and shown him my holstered .357 Magnum.

The following Monday morning, the Bank Manager got an earful from me.

[logic]

I am very curious, what did you complain to the bank manager about?

[CholeraJoe]

About the poor lighting around their ATM and the fact that derelicts hang out there and either panhandle or rob.

[Imagine]

What was the look on the criminal's face when you showed him the bottom line?

[CholeraJoe]

He turned and ran so quickly that I didn't get a chance to see his expression.

Lott is/was a professor of economics with a specialty in statistics; he does his own research.

He was shown the anti-gun literature and it was so poorly done [statistically] he set out to fix it for them. There was one problem, all the data came in the reverse and he switched sides. Since then, he has been one of the greatest pro-2nd amendment advocates the movement has seen.

Thank you El Laton Caliente for the back ground Information on Professor Lott.

You can find a more in depth discussion of the facts as well as there sources in Lott's two books: The Bias Against Guns and More Guns, Less Crime. The Bias Against Guns is the newest of the two and has the most updated information. If you can borrow, it I think that you will find it has everything that you need.
