On Dana Loesch’s Relentless about VICE’s claims that guns make you and your family less safe

Sep 18, 2018 | Featured

John Lott talks to Dana Loesch on Relentless. VICE.com recycles old false claims by the Violence Policy Center about the rareness of defensive gun uses. They use justifiable homicide numbers from the FBI without noting that the very few police departments report these numbers and the ones that do often miss cases. They also only count defensive gun uses when the criminal is killed and ignore all the defensive gun uses that involve wounding the attacker.
