How Often Do People Really Use Guns In Self-Defense? w/ John Lott CN Podcast #15
John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention Research Center, discusses the underreporting of defensive gun uses (DGUs) by mainstream media, contrasting it with the extensive coverage of gun crime. He highlights how media narratives often distort the reality of DGU incidents, which frequently involve brandishing rather than firing a weapon. Lott also critiques gun control policies, arguing they disproportionately harm minorities and are often based on flawed data and a distrust of individual liberty, citing issues with background check systems and permit costs.
