Product Information
When it comes to the gun control debate, there are two kinds of data: data that's accurate, and data that left-wing billionaires and politicians want you to believe is accurate. In Lying to Steal Your Guns , economist and gun rights advocate John Lott turns a skeptical eye to the recent explosion of well-funded anti-gun studies that perpetuate false statistics to frighten Americans into giving up their guns.Product Identifiers

Reviews"The Second Amendment has no better defender than John Lott. What makes him so invaluable is his ability to go beyond philosophical arguments and to engage opponents of gun ownership on the facts. Through rigorous research and analysis of data, he has been able to show in previous books that increased gun possession can actually make people safer and reduce crime. In The War on Guns , his latest contribution to the gun debate, he takes aim at a wide range of anti-gun shibboleths and exposes the fraudulence of each one. For that, he has done his country and the cause of gun rights a great service. For anyone looking to be armed with the truth about guns, I highly recommend that you add this book to your arsenal." --TED CRUZ, U.S. senator, Texas "Amidst threats of terrorism, the need for John Lott''s The War on Guns and a rational debate on guns has never been greater. Paris and San Bernardino show us that gun-free zones won't stop terrorists. As this book documents, these killers consciously pick targets where they know victims will be sitting ducks. Lott carefully proves that the push for more gun control only makes the types of attacks that we fear more likely to occur. Next time you drop your child off at school, try and find the sign saying, ''Gun Free Zone.'' Stop for a moment and ask yourself, ''Does this really keep my child safe?'' If you still have questions, read The War on Guns ." --NEWT GINGRICH, former Speaker of the House "John Lott is the nation''s preeminent expert on guns, and in The War on Guns he has done it again. Do mass shootings occur more in the U.S. than other developed countries? No. Did Australia''s gun laws make them safer? Hardly. Will background checks on private transfers of guns make us safer? No. He destroys one myth after another. John Lott is a national treasure." --MARK LEVIN, constitutional lawyer, New York Times bestselling author, and host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Mark Levin Show "The war on guns will never end because the anti-gun zealots will never raise the white flag even though the research and data in this book has soundly defeated them. The key is to continue to beat back their propaganda, misinformation, manipulation of data, and even outright lies, in order to protect our God-given right to keep and bear arms." --SHERIFF DAVID A. CLARKE JR., sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin "John Lott is the most dogged, intellectually credible, academic defender of the right to keep and bear arms in the United States today. He is also the chief beast in the night to the gun control crowd. His works are must reading for those of us on the front lines in these debates. The War on Guns is his best work yet. In it, the reader will find well-documented all the data, statistics, practical, legal, and moral arguments one will ever need to support the natural right to self-defense. The statists will fear this book. Freedom lovers will crave it." --HON. ANDREW P. NAPOLITANO, senior judicial analyst Fox News Channel, and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School "To paraphrase a once-famous commercial slogan, ''When John R. Lott speaks, everyone listens.'' Or, at least they should when this leading expert on all matters gun control speaks out so provocatively and persuasively. In his new book, Lott delves into the myriad ways in which anti-gun ''statistics'' and ''research'' have been used to perpetrate utter falsehoods and misleading propaganda. If there is to be any intelligent, honest, and objective discussion of gun policy in the United States, then The War on Guns ought to be required reading." --CHARLES J. GOETZ, Joseph M. Hartfield Professor of Law Emeritus, University of Virginia School of Law "John R. Lott is a role model for those who do scientific research on important problems. He is objective and logical., "Amidst threats of terrorism, the need for John Lott's The War on Guns and a rational debate on guns has never been greater. Paris and San Bernardino show us that gun-free zones won't stop terrorists. As this book documents, these killers consciously pick targets where they know victims will be sitting ducks. Lott carefully proves that the push for more gun control only makes the types of attacks that we fear more likely to occur. Next time you drop your child off at school, try and find the sign saying, 'Gun Free Zone.' Stop for a moment and ask yourself, 'Does this really keep my child safe?' If you still have questions, read The War on Guns ." --Newt Gingrich
