Dr. John Lott was on Canada’s CTV about his reaction to the mass public shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Lott talked about the importance of having someone quickly available on the scene with a gun to stop an attack. He also talked about the high rate of mass public shootings in parts of Europe, and finally how hard it is to stop these mass public shooters from getting weapons.

Data on mass public shootings around the world are available here and here.
