Mass murders with firearms in numerous European countries show the problem is not unique to the United States, nor are draconian restrictions on the ownership of firearms a cure for mass murder with firearms.
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are shifting further left on issues surrounding crime, policing, and gun control. This trend raises serious concerns for those relying on these technologies for objective research…
Report show how the dangerous drop in arrest rates over the last few years from 2020 to 2022 is without precedent, and that is particularly true for the largest Democrat run cities.
One cry frequently thrown about by gun banners is more concealed handguns lead to an increase in stolen guns. New findings backed by hard data show that is NOT true.
Joe Biden flip-flops on violent crime rates – sometimes they’re going up, sometimes they’re going down – depending on who is in the audience.
The real declines are the worrying drop in reporting of crimes to police and the much-reduced arrest rates, without Americans actually experiencing a greater “freedom to be safe.”
A paper at the Crime Prevention Research Center shows crime rates rising while arrest rates and reporting of crime is falling. As trust in police falls, crime rates rise.
There’s a lesson in these numbers, but it’s not one that gun control advocates are interested in, including Joe Biden…
Analysis found that armed citizens stopped 157 of the 440 active shooter incidents, a rate of 35.7%. This is significantly higher than the 4.6% rate reported by the FBI.
The study found that the effect of constitutional carry laws on reducing murder rates takes time to manifest but that it is statistically significant.
Over the past year, the report notes, “the number of permit holders grew by a record 2 million.”
“Gun prohibitionists who enjoy their own private security while promoting restrictive laws…are world-class hypocrites.”–Alan Gottlieb, CCRKBA
Two million people are now on the Terror Watch List and most have nothing to do with terror?
The number of concealed handgun permits has soared to over 19.48 million in 2020 & data shows concealed handgun permit holders are extremely law-abiding out-pacing police officers at following the law
There are approximately 120,000,000 gun owners in the US. Remove the gangs and drugs, the US is one of the SAFEST countries in the world.
For years after Adam Lankford’s study was released to the media in 2015, the New York Times and Washington Post regularly cited his flawed claims and biased data.
One of the more common claims in the gun control debate is that the United States has more mass public shootings than any other countries. That is FAKE NEWS!
One question emerging from the debate over the Lankford and Lott studies on mass shootings: How exactly do you define a mass shooting?
With all the holes in Lankford’s study, it is amazing that so many media sources cite his research. It could also be that his analysis falls in line with their predetermined outcome.
Lankford’s study reported that from 1966 to 2012, there were 90 public mass shooters in the U.S. & 202 in the rest of world. Lankford’s data represent a gross undercount of foreign attacks.
More and more Americans are embracing their right to self-defense with the number of concealed carry permits in the U.S. jumping to over 17.25 million this past year.
The CPRC has just issued our newest annual report on the number of concealed handgun permits in the US. A copy of the report is available for download here.
For those who weren’t able to attend NRAAM in Dallas, you will find a video of my talk where I discussed some of the many gun control lies getting attention these days.
In the twenty years that I have discussed guns in the media, I don’t believe that I have seen such media bias.
Once the headlines have been absorbed, reinforced biases will make unquestioning voters receptive to politicians promising more disarmament legislation.
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
Last week, the Crime Prevention Research Center also explained why President Obama doesn’t understand how firearms have been developed by the military to not kill…
It’s just one way the Obama administration prevents people from owning guns. This disproportionately impacts the law-abiding poor & prevents people being able to defend themselves…
This is the first study to systematically look to see if that is true. And in fact there is no evidence that these laws reduce the risk of these attacks..
The Crime Prevention Research Center secured a total of 439 media hits from November 2014, October 2015 for an average of one media hit for each day of the past year…
