In this interview, One America’s John Hines speaks with Dr. John Lott, founder and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, about the renewed national debate over gun control following the attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Dr. Lott argues that proposed new gun control measures would not have prevented the incident, pointing to California’s existing restrictions—including universal background checks and an assault weapons ban—as evidence that strict laws do not necessarily stop violent attacks. He also discusses broader trends in crime data and challenges claims made by gun control advocacy groups.

The conversation further explores arguments surrounding federal gun policy, proposed registries, and differing interpretations of how effective current and proposed laws are in reducing gun violence.
