John Lott, founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, argued that the conventional wisdom about guns and gun regulation is incorrect. He said the media does a poor job of analyzing gun-related events, especially mass shootings

Apparently the only threat to the American way of life that is even close to the Plandemic of CONvid-19 is the mass shootings that occur hourly. 24/7/365.

This is actually an awesome interview. Thanks for posting.
Myth: That it’s “conventional wisdom”. It’s not and never was. It’s been propaganda to support an agenda in direct opposition to conventional wisdom.
The media does a “poor job” analyzing only if you believe that they are doing or trying to do analysis in the first place.
The media are doing a great job at disinformation if you sit back and observe what’s really happening.
I recommend it highly as it vaporizes the bogus arguments that the lefties hawk and that too many folks do not question.

Great interview.
His book is full of nice graphics showing how the media spreads lies about guns.
In one graph from NYT shows aa 40% drop in gun violence after 1997 tightening of gun laws in CT and next to it shows a 30% increase after MO in 2007 loosened their laws.
He shows a graph indicating the whole US dropped by 40% since 1997 and also increased by 30% after 2007 (as did CT).
Goes on and on with graph after graph.
For the most part you are preaching to the choir here. Those wanting more gun bans are either the tyrants or the useful idiots of this country, in which logic never sets foot in their head, its all emotions.
John Lott is also 100% correct.
The Ministry of Propaganda does what their masters tell them to do and their masters want US disarmed.

John Lott are you a gun owner?
after seeing the benefits, he bought several guns.
i would have answered, none of your damn business.
Because "the media" is no longer interested in presenting news, nor facts. "The media" is nothing more than the propaganda wing of the DNC and "progressives."
