Before the interview got started Dr. Lott asked if there was a time limit on the interview, and was told that there wasn't. If he was told that there would only be 13 minutes to talk, he would have tailored his answers accordingly. If you want to see Dr. Lott's full discussion about for example the changes in firearm homicides and suicides see his piece at The Federalist titled: “The supposed benefits of Australia’s gun confiscation rest on flawed statistics,” For other related points that don't get covered see the Spectator Australia titled: “Australians more likely to be victims of violent crime than Americans.” and at the Australian Spectator titled: “Gun laws and the helpless horror of Bondi: Would even tougher gun laws have saved lives at Bondi?“
