Forward. I was never a big Second Amendment supporter until my daughter Meadow was murdered on the third floor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the Parkland school shooting. For readers who just follow the news casually, that should sound like a crazy statement. After all, the Parkland shooting captured the news cycle for months thanks to a handful of kids who attacked the National Rifle Association and argued that we should ban AR-15s. For my part, I just wanted to know what went wrong and why. If the facts had suggested that there was some tie to some pro-gun policy, or that the kind of gun used made a difference, I would have been right there with those gun control kids. But when I looked into it, I realized that a lack of “gun control” wasn’t the problem. The laws on the books should have been enough to stop the shooter. Yet every local official failed every step of the way. It was the most avoidable mass murder in American history. You wouldn’t know this, though, because the media had its narrative before it knew any of the facts – and they sure as hell weren’t going to let the facts get in their way. Still, all the debate about gun control got me interested. I wanted to learn a lot more about it. It had nothing to do with the Parkland shooting, but maybe some of the policies the kids were advancing could have helped with others. Maybe, I thought, it’s still a good idea that I should support. <strong>...</strong></p>Lott John R. - More guns Less crimeurn:md5:6b32ab1fdc588c86d5ff654c290c40002012-12-14T22:47:00+00:002012-12-14T22:49:24+00:00balderLott John R.North AmericaSurvival <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Lott_John_R_-_More_guns_Less_crime_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The debate set off by this book was quite astonishing to me. Despite attacks early on when mv paper was published in the joumal of Legal Studies, I was still rather unprepared for the publicity generated by the book in 1998. This expanded edition not only discusses the ensuing political debate and responds to the various criticisms, but also extends the data set to cover additional years. Replicating the results over additional years is important, so as to verify the original research. The new extended and broadened data set has also allowed me to study new gun laws, ranging from safe-storage provisions to one-gun-a-month purchase rules. It has also allowed me to extend my study of the Rrady law and its impact to its first three years. Other extensions of the data set include entirely new city-level statistics, which made it possible to account more fully for policing policies. Since I finished writing- the first edition of this book in 1997, I have continued working on many related gun and crime issues. A new section of the book draws on continued research that I am conducting with numerous talented coauthors: William Landes on multiple-victim public shootings, John Whitley on safe-storage gun laws, and Kevin Cremin on police policies. Other work was published in the May 1998 American Economic Review under the title "Criminal Deterrence, Geographic Spillovers, and the Riht to Carry Concealed Handguns," coauthored with Stephen Bronars. Also, an article of mine, "The Concealed Handgun Debate," was published in the January 1998 issue of thelournal of Lenal Studies. <strong>...</strong></p>
