One of the most popular claims by anti-Second Amendment groups is that firearms lead to more crime. Indeed, anti-gun advocates point to dubious studies that purportedly debunk the research by John R. Lott, an academic, economist, and head of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC). Lott’s work definitively shows that higher concentrations of legal gun ownership result in less crime.


It turns out that the data the FBI has been providing is inaccurate. That’s because the FBI has been undercounting the number of instances in which armed civilians have thwarted active shooters.
