Anyone who considers themselves up to date on the myth that gun control works is delusional.

Why is it Blue states and cities like Chicago and Minnesota have staggering numbers of gun fire deaths and injuries?

Look no further that the state of Arizona where open carry is the norm.

People seem to be friendlier there, perhaps because they know that the majority of the populace are carrying a pistol.

What is even more maddening is the fact that Biden’s handlers know this and continue to blow off the facts.

What is equally disgusting is that Biden’s proposed new gun legislation targets anything that “Looks like an assault rifle when the majority crimes are committed using hand guns.

Eight Stubborn Facts About Lawful Possession of a fire arm.

Biden declares, ‘No amendment to Constitution is absolute’ as he rolls out gun measures

But wait, there’s more, more victims are killed or injured by hammers, baseball bats and in the kitchen where knives are plentiful.

Perhaps members of the left who make their living in congress attacking our rights under the 2nd Amendment, go hide behind a gun free zone sign and see if they are safer.

Recent mass shootings have once again put guns at the center of national debate, and President Joe Biden has announced new executive orders on gun control.

At the center of the discussion is a question: do gun control measures prevent crime or do they actually do the opposite?

To understand what the data says, I decided to sit down with John Lott, who has studied the impact of gun control measures for decades.

He’s the founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, and author of a number of books on guns and gun control, including most recently, “Gun Control Myths.”

In this episode, Lott breaks down the biggest misconceptions he sees around gun control, how media coverage skews people’s perceptions, and why he believes gun control measures will actually harm minorities and the most vulnerable.
