Bloomberg's gun control research director explains why his group refuses to debate
C-SPAN Washington Journal ^ | April 25, 2015 | Ted Alcorn

Posted on 04/28/2015 1:18:31 PM PDT by richardb72

This past Saturday Bloomberg’s Everytown representative, Ted Alcorn, insisted that he would not appear simultaneously with John Lott (the author of More Guns, Less Crime (University of Chicago Press) and the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center) on C-SPAN. Alcorn would only appear after Lott's segment was finished.

Here is John Lott's discussion of Bloomberg's gun control advocates unwillingness to ever debate

Here is Bloomberg’s Research Director’s explanation for why his organization won't ever debate.

Acorn's explanation for why Bloomberg's groups refuse to debate is pretty embarrassing. Hopefully, these clips will get a lot of attention and help show people how weak their arguments really are.

“To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”-George Mason. Given Mason’s comment, why would Bloomberg’s group want to debate, when their main philosophy is that citizens can not be trusted with firearms?

And notice that they want to FOLLOW Lot. I bet that they wouldn’t allow Lot to follow them.

Because they are incapable of facing the facts in a public forum.

They are quite happy to spew their lies, and have them spread by their media accomplices, unchallenged in front of MSM consumers.

Reminds me of William F. Buckley Jr. when asked why Sen. Edward Kennedy would not appear on his show “Firing Line”:

“Why does baloney reject the grinder!?”

LOL!

Uh...the way we determine whether you’re a credible scientist or research analyst is by first establishing that you agree with our preconceived notions.

It’s really because they can’t defend their lies and misrepresentation ...
