He's fine as long as they don't mistake him for TRENT Lott.

Google charges advertisers on a per-click basis. Thus, if all of us Freepers were to go to Google, type in the search terms, and then click on that ad, the owner of the site would be charged money by Google.

This kind of thing - no matter which side of the political debate it happens to - are a black mark on the Internet and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

"Mayzel would neither confirm nor deny that Google had taken any action regarding the advertisement, but more than a dozen searches conducted Friday afternoon for variations of "John Lott" and "Ask John Lott" did not result in the ad being displayed."

The WHOIS server for the registry is apparently down, perhaps because of the inquiries or maybe the operator took it down.

I'm curious about the phone number and wonder what area-code is assigned to it. But, CNSNews didn't publish it.

I found the number elsewhere: it's a 917 area code, apparently in the NYC area.

Phone number listed in registration records is 9179132591.

917 appears to be New York City area.

A reverse number search at smartpages.com produces no information for this number, which implies to me it seems to be unlisted.

I would say from the information presented that it's impossible to tell whether the number connects you with the people who run the site, or whether it's a bogus number belonging to someone else, although I would lean toward suspecting it may be the actual number of the registrants.

A google search for the number also produces no information.

On the website, billed as "See some of John Lott's answers":

Q: What's your stance on the immunity bill?

A: The stance I'm taking on this issue has surprised many of my supporters. Truthfully, I question the necessity of the immunity bill. While I know there have been many unfair lawsuits against gun manufacturers, I'm starting to believe that safer, tight restrictions
will come from the privatized world, rather than the government agencies. If the gun manufacturers can still maintain a sense of fear of lawsuit, then they can do more to prevent the guns from getting into the wrong hands.

Q: I really want to believe you, but, I've heard that you're in the pay of the gun industry. Is that true?

A: I think the gun control people are going to continue to bring it up. I've been in debates this year with people from Handgun Control Inc. and other gun control groups in which they asserted flat-out that I've been paid by gun makers to perform studies that favor the NRA. Obviosly, these claims are false! I have always been an honest source.

Q: Can I buy hundreds of semi-automatics without being reported to law enforcement?

A: Yes, you're in luck. Licensed gun dealers have no requirements to report multiple sales of long guns, even though this is the kind of gun that terrorist organizations love.

Q: I want to get roughly ten hand guns for my friend's 50th birthday party, but I really don't want the police to know about this. Is there any way for me to do this without getting reported?

A: Hopefully, you haven't saved this for the last minute. By law, licensed gun dealers must report to federal law enforcement whenever someone buys two or more handguns in 5 business days. So, if you have two months before the party, you can just buy one gun every six days, and you shouldn't have any problem at all.

Q: I live in Tuscon, so you know I've been dealing with the Sniper/Peeping-Tom. I'm glad he was finally caught, but now everyone's worried about the copycats who have sprung up. Is there anything we can do about this?

A: Jennifer, you've asked a very poignant question. However, it is still legal to purchase .50 caliber sniper rifles. These weapons can hit a target a mile and a half away. Thankfully, the Sniper/Peeping-Tom was caught. People like him are far and few between, which means that it's not really a problem that .50 caliber sniper rifles are so easily attainable.

Q: Why would you try to help people get around the laws? Who on earth would advise someone to buy a .50 caliber rifle to shoot people at a mile and a half?

A: Dear Mark Klamer, I'm sorry that you have misunderstood me. I am not advising anyone to shoot people at a mile and a half distance. In fact, I'm letting people like you know what we have against us. Our laws allow anybody to buy .50 caliber "sniper" rifles. As a staunch gun rights supporter, I can't deny how this just makes us look bad. Wouldn't you agree?

Q: My husband is abusive & I feel threatened by him. What do you recommend?

A: You'd be surprised how common a question this is. However, my answer to you - which is the same answer I would give to anyone else - is that the thought of guns should not even cross your mind when looking for a solution to your domestic issues. See a professional about this issue. There are people and organizations dedicated to this. Shooting him is NOT the answer.


I think that it's pretty obvious that anyone familar with Lott would recognize this as false, but the gun grabbers will really latch onto this.

What the "Ask John Lott" site owner is doing is outrageous (if not illegal), but isn't calling it "identity theft" a bit over the top?

This is a pretty sick hit against Lott. The anti-gunners are [pun intended] taking cheap shots.

I'll bet it traces back to the filthy enemies of the constitution at the Violence Policy Center, or the Brady Bunch (former HCI).
