Letter Submitted to the Australian Spectator: Responding to Claims about Benefits of UK’s Handgun Ban
The Australian Spectator ran an article on the claimed benefits of the UK's 1997 handgun ban. Dr. John Lott submitted this letter, but the magazine chose not to run it. The information used in this letter can be found here , but more detailed information is available...
Definition of “mass shooting” was clarifying and useful, and ref. to the FBI definition. Ditto stats over time in the US–a peak in 2012, etc.–compared with the big statement that worldwide there’s great increase, and mentioning the Russian school shooting.
Are such talks available in text form to allow passing along? Parts are worthwhile to excerpt and spread out, but few or none would take a chance and sit down to listen to a recording.
Great to raise strongly the intent and need of such killers to attack where victims are helpless.
Thanks, Randy, my book “The War on Guns” goes through this information in detail. But here are some links.
