The National Sentinel ^ | 8/31/18 | USA Features

Fiction: A major paper released in 2016 and often cited by the gun-hating Left claiming that the United States has the highest rate of mass shootings is completely bogus, according to a new report that examined the data and methodology.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), founded by noted criminologist John Lott, Jr., said that the paper, written by Adam Lankford, got massive national and international coverage when it was first published. Even former President Obama referenced Lankford’s claims to justify calls for ‘sensible gun control.’

If you read the link you will see that this was created from thin air by a left wing Obama puppy so Obama and others could lie their asses off to the world and push gun control here at home.

This is just one more huge example of....

THE LIARS ON THE LEFT CREATING THE LIES THEY NEED TO REMOVE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS FROM CITIZENS.

My 2A rights are mine and not to be taken away by the left.

Thank you Dr. Lott. Too bad your rebuttal will not get anywhere near the publicity gotten by the original report.

Unfortunately, Adam Lankford is still at it.
