John Lott Said What?
John Lott discusses his experience testifying in Oregon regarding Measure 114, a bill that significantly increases costs and requirements for firearm ownership. He highlights how the proposed fees for licensing and training, along with extended waiting periods, disproportionately affect low-income individuals and minorities, potentially hindering their ability to exercise self-defense rights. Lott also critiques the effectiveness of gun registration and licensing systems, citing examples from Hawaii, New York, and Canada where such measures have failed to demonstrably solve crimes despite substantial costs.
