Wherein he provided absolutely no evidence for his claims

???? The consensus is that these claims are meaningless and often
false. In particular, the John Lott claims have been totally discredited.

Here's a perfect example. It's a pro-gun site that didn't like the
bogus math of the NRA report. It shows, for better or worse, that the
states with a "right to carry" have a 15% higher murder rate than the
"May Issue" states:

they
interviewed a couiple of ciminals in prison..said that they would npot
knowingly enter a house where they knew there were guns...


Now there's a real reliable source.

The usual
liberal cant is that if you say it long enough and loud enough it might
come true...


That's why the NRA studies are often exposed as frauds. How about
John Lott's famous survey where the computer "ate the data" and he was
never able to produce a single person who either worked on it or
answered it.

Funny how no one in the liberal sector comments oj findings
like Stoessel's....


Did he find anything?
