Dr. John Lott speaks with host Steve Gruber about the Virginia Governor (Terry McAuliffe) restoring the voting rights of 200,000 convicted felons. The Governor has restored some “civil rights” but not all, which would include the right to keep & bear arms. Dr. Lott explains the Virginia State Constitution states that you cannot have the right to vote unless you have had all of your previous rights restored. There will no doubt be a court challenge. This is a naked power grab. According to surveys, the majority of convicted felons end up voting for democrats. The discussion continues with Venezuela’s collapse and their citizens being totally disarmed while murder rates increase and chaos takes hold.

Dr. Lott is interviewed by host Kyle Melinn (sitting in for Steve Gruber) about CPRC’s Original Research on the worst mass shootings outside the United States. Gun violence is NOT unique to the United States. 20 of the worst mass public shootings occurred outside the United States. France just last year had more casualties than the U.S. over the last 7 years. Many of the mass public shootings in other countries don’t generate the type of news coverage that a mass shooting in the U.S. does. When a mass public shooting occurs in the United States, it gets more media coverage in Europe. There is a real bias in the media which makes the United States look more dangerous when it actually is not.

Dr. Lott speaks with host Duran Martinez (sitting in for Steve Gruber) about the media bias in reporting defensive gun use stories. The media covers crime with guns and fails to give balanced reporting on justifiable self defense with guns. This makes a difference in the gun control debate because the public does not hear about people defending themselves and others using a gun. This can certainly impact the public perception of guns and their use. Dr. Lott also speaks about Canada’s costly gun control laws.
