Synopsis

Gun-rights advocate John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime, rebuts recent antigun “factoids” with real statistics.When it comes to the gun control debate, there are two kinds of data: data that’s accurate, and data that left-wing billionaires, politicians, and media want you to believe is accurate. In The War on Guns, economist and gun-rights advocate John Lott turns a skeptical eye to well-funded antigun studies and stories that perpetuate false statistics to frighten Americans into giving up their guns.

Talk about being red-pilled. To use that overused phrase of the right-wing, appropriated from The Matrix, which is ironically a left-wing wank-fest of a film that, more ironically still, practically salivates over firearms and gun violence.
