Does it matter that gun control advocates keep pushing for regulations before they know any facts?  In this case, everyone from the Democrats vice presidential candidate, Senator Tim Kaine, to Shannon Watts with Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety went so far as to claim an attack had occurred with guns when it was done with a car and a knife.  Dr. Lott’s new book, The War on Guns, has a long list of these cases where gun control advocates have drawn the incorrect conclusions before the facts were known..  What was ignored as that this attack occurred once again in a place where general citizens aren’t allowed to defend themselves, a “gun-free zone.”
