Dr. John Lott talked to Mark Walters and Arizona Representative Quang Nguyen on the Armed American Radio show about new FBI crime data, estimates of defensive gun use ranging from 60,000 to roughly 2.5 million incidents annually, and why surveys may miss cases where merely displaying a firearm stops an attack. They also discussed the dramatic expansion of constitutional carry, the millions of Americans legally carrying firearms, evidence that armed citizens make crime riskier for criminals, the coming Supreme Court battle over so-called “assault weapons” bans, and efforts to reshape the Court.
