Dr. Lott talked with host Joe Piscopo about crime in Chicago and why murder rates have been on the rise there. Lott explains that the people who benefit most from owning guns are the most vulnerable people in society who are most likely to be victims of violent crime. He explains how many gun control laws actually prevent law abiding people who need guns the most for self defense, from being able to own them and carry them. Also discussed is Dr. Lott’s newly released book “The War on Guns” and important facts that the media simply will not share with the public.
