Acerca del autor

John R. Lott, Jr., Ph.D, called by Newsweek the “Gun Crowd’s Guru,” is an author, lecturer, and nationally-famous economist. Nobel laureate Milton Friedman said: “John Lott has few equals as a perceptive analyst of controversial public policy issues.” He has held research and/or teaching positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice, and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. A FoxNews.com columnist, Lott is the author of eight previous books, including More Guns, Less Crime and Freedomnomics. He received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.

Lott is also the founder of the popular Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC)—a research and education organization dedicated to conducting academic quality research on the relationship between laws regulating the ownership or use of guns, crime, and public safety; educating the public on the results of such research; and supporting other organizations, projects, and initiatives that are organized and operated for similar purposes.

They're coming for your guns...
That's not a scaremongering phrase--it's a simple truth.
And it comes from John R. Lott Jr., Ph.D., bestselling author of the debate-changing More Guns, Less Crime.
In this, his latest and most important book, The War on Guns, Lott offers the most thorough debunking yet of the so-called "facts," "data," and "arguments" of anti-gun advocates, exposing how they have repeatedly twisted or ignored the real evidence, the evidence that of course refutes them on every point.
In The War on Guns, you'll learn:
- Why gun licenses and background checks don't stop crime
- How "gun-free" zones actually attract mass shooters
- Why Stand Your Ground laws are some of the best crime deterrents we have
- Why having background checks on private gun transfers is a bad idea
- How big-money liberal foundations and the federal government are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into "public health" studies, the sole purpose of which is to manufacture false data against guns
- How media bias and ignorance skew the gun debate--and why it will get worse
- How anti-gun activists have targeted not just the Second Amendment, but the First Amendment--all in an effort to shut down pro-gun arguments
Concerned about your gun rights? You should be. And John R. Lott Jr.'s The War on Guns is the essential book for defending your Second Amendment Rights--before they are taken away forever.
