The War on Guns

Arming Yourself Against Gun Control Lies

By: John R. Lott Jr. PhD

Narrated by: John McLain

Gun rights advocate John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime, rebuts recent antigun "factoids" with real statistics.

When it comes to the gun control debate, there are two kinds of data: data that's accurate and data that left-wing billionaires, politicians, and media want you to believe is accurate. In The War on Guns, economist and gun rights advocate John Lott turns a skeptical eye to well-funded antigun studies and stories that perpetuate false statistics to frighten Americans into giving up their guns.

Everyone should read this book!

A needed book for Americans to read!!!!


If we loose this battle....The first amendment is soon too be in trouble!

Full of great statistics

This book is full of great statistics. It reveals lots of lies our government is telling us to try to take away our guns. With all the stats it can get boring, but you will get lots of defence against anti gun liberals.
If you can get an anti gun liberal in the car on a long road trip, this would be a great book to pay on Audible.

INCREDIBLY IGNORANT

I consider myself slightly more knowledgable than most with regard to the Gun-Control/2nd Ammendment debate.

However, the facts, charts, and statistics, presented in this book highlighted how incredibly ignorant I was.

For anyone slightly interested in this topic and how the media generally (and Mike Bloomberg specifically) helped shape many of my - and probably your - misperceptions, this book is a must read/listen.

Great resource

good statistics and information. great citations. gives a lot to take in and use. it is worth many tears in order to hold all the information.

so true

very good book really brought up a lot of good points on guns really good listen about the whole gun controversy debunks a lot of gun myths

With a different reader this book would be great

Would you listen to The War on Guns again? Why?

Yes but there is an issue.This topic is one with a huge emotional content on both sides of the argument. I love John Lott and am very happy that he is there and has done all the research needed to PROVE he is the one whose facts are valid- HOWEVER, the book's reader has a very pushy argumentative tone which will invariably turn off the exact people who we need to have their views turned around by his books. I might not be able to recommend this book to anti-gun friends since it sounds like he is yelling the facts at us instead of simply educating us with good research. Would love his first book, More Guns Less Crime to be made into an audio bk with a less gnarly reader.

Who was your favorite character and why?

not applicable

What aspect of John McLain’s performance would you have changed?

Who the heck is John McLain?

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes but I would never have the time

Any additional comments?

make his first book into an audio book More Guns, Less Crime

Great book! fantastic research by John lott!

I will be recommending this and other John Lott books to each and every Gun owner I know. We need to be armed with the facts about guns when speaking with anti-gun leftists. they are lying about guns and self defense as well as the history of the country and second amendment. GREAT BOOK!!!

Informative

Contained details I was unaware of and helped understand the dynamics of the gun debate.

Real facts on guns.

Excellent book. The Canadian government needs to read this book! As a Canadian citizen I envy the personal rights and freedoms Americans have.

Eye opening

This was a terrific and well researched book. I had little idea as to how far the yearning to disarm the American public went. Some of the arguments and tactics described transcend the gun control debate to all facets of our culture. This should stand as a warning that all who don't fall in line are subject to strict censure.
