More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws Audiobook (Free)

On its initial publication in 1998, John R. Lott’s Even more Guns, Less Crime drew both lavish praise and heated criticism. More than a 10 years later, it continues to play an integral function in ongoing arguments over gun-control laws and regulations: despite all of the episodes by gun-control advocates, no-one has ever been able to refute Lott’s basic, startling conclusion that more weapons mean less crime. Relying on one of the most rigorously comprehensive data evaluation ever carried out on crime figures and right-to-carry laws and regulations, the book directly issues common perceptions about the partnership of guns, crime, and violence. Because of this third model, Lott draws on yet another a decade of data-including provocative evaluation of the consequences of gun bans in Chicago and Washington, D.C-that brings the book fully current and additional bolsters its central contention.
