About this product

Product Information

Does allowing people to own or carry guns deter violent crime? Or does it simply cause more citizens to harm each other? Directly challenging common perceptions about gun control, legal scholar John Lott presents the most rigorously comprehensive data analysis ever done on crime statistics and right-to-carry laws. This timely and provocative work comes to the startling conclusion: more guns mean less crime. In this paperback edition, Lott has expanded the research through 1996, incorporating new data available from states that passed right-to-carry and other gun laws since the book's publication as well as new city-level statistics. "Lott's pro-gun argument has to be examined on the merits, and its chief merit is lots of data. . . . If you still disagree with Lott, at least you will know what will be required to rebut a case that looks pretty near bulletproof." Peter Coy, "Business Week" "By providing strong empirical evidence that yet another liberal policy is a cause of the very evil it purports to cure, he has permanently changed the terms of debate on gun control. . . . Lott's book could hardly be more timely. . . . A model of the meticulous application of economics and statistics to law and policy." John O. McGinnis, "National Review" "His empirical analysis sets a standard that will be difficult to match. . . . This has got to be the most extensive empirical study of crime deterrence that has been done to date." "Public Choice" "For anyone with an open mind on either side of this subject this book will provide a thorough grounding. It is also likely to be the standard reference on the subject for years to come." Stan Liebowitz, "Dallas Morning News" "A compelling book with enough hard evidence that even politicians may have to stop and pay attention. "More Guns, Less Crime" is an exhaustive analysis of the effect of gun possession on crime rates." James Bovard, "Wall Street Journal" "John Lott documents how far 'politically correct' vested interests are willing to go to denigrate anyone who dares disagree with them. Lott has done us all a service by his thorough, thoughtful, scholarly approach to a highly controversial issue." Milton Friedman"

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

    Excellent book

    This is a classic. While the author may have been involved in some "odd" behavior, his research is sound.

    An impressive work

    This controversial topic needs facts, not emotional distortions. This book provides all the facts you ever wanted to know, and more. Should be required reading.

    Excellent perspective and the most in-depth study gun laws

    This book should be read by everyone who is concerned and wishes to stop gun violence. Its study and statistics prove beyond a shadow of doubt, that gun control laws promote crime. I doubt if anyone can find a more comprehensive study of gun laws and their effect than John Lott's book.
