5.0 out of 5 stars Prof. Lott rings the bell again, May 8, 2007
By Neil H. (Middletown, CT United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
John R. Lott brings real facts, logic and common sense to the gun control issue, as distinct from the misrepresentations and hysterical rantings of the left-wingers. All those who believe the founding fathers really did know what they were doing when they authored the Bill of Rights and in particular the Second Amendment therein will find plenty of support in Prof. Lott's books.

As the previous reviewer has noted, the first reviewer obviously meant to give this book 5 stars and not 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight Shooting, April 19, 2007
By Kenneth D. Willis (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read this book and it is excellent. I agree with the previous review, and think he must have meant to give it a higher rating and hit the wrong button or something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Check your facts, June 27, 2008
By Richard Eng (California) - See all my reviews
John Lott does an excellent job providing information on the gun debate. For those that feel that his facts are incorrect, do what I did and grab a calculator and follow the statistics. You will find that his research models, results and honest conclusions are FAR more accurate than the opposition. Those who feel that his work is inaccurate are those who cannot follow the math.
