there are far too many inaccuracies and bad science in to be consider

In other words, it disagrees with your preconceived notions.

John Lott has been discredited by gun rights supporters, not opponents.
He has done such things as fabricate data, quote nonexistent surveys,
and use unsound methods for analysis. One of his first detractors was
the right-wing Washington Times. His creation of an Internet persona
named Mary Rosh to sing his own praise and denigrate his opponents was,
in the words of a guns rights reporter, "beyond creepy."

The problem is, people who don't care about the truth continue to claim
Lott as a credible source.
