John Lott Returns to the CPRC, Research on Letting People Carry Guns at Capitols; Prison More Afraid of Prisoner Rights Groups than Protecting Victims

Dear [Deleted]:

I am thrilled to announce that [sic] Dr. John Lott's return as president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. We have been very lucky to have Andrew Pollack run things, and we are sorry to see him leave. Lott is one of the few people who have both an academic research background and can write popular pieces. Lott's appointment at the Department of Justice generated more opposition than almost any other Trump appointment, with an unprecedented move of all the Senate Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee signing a letter objecting to his hire. Gun control activists also launched a fierce email and telephone campaign demanding that [sic] Lott's firing. But Lott's political appointee position at Justice ends with the end of the Trump Administration.

With Democrats painting a picture of armed insurrectionists storming state Capitols this coming week, gun control advocates will be pushing hard to ban carrying concealed handguns at state Capitols. We have updated our research on state Capitols that allow guns to be carried and a history of that experience. The bottom line is simple: despite decades of experience, no one has been hurt by letting people carry guns at these Capitols. As usual, gun control activists are left with stories about what might happen, not what actually happens.

My stalker, who murdered my husband, was finally charged with continuing to stalk me from prison. Unfortunately, I have been told by the Tennessee Department of Corrections officials that they are more fearful of the prisoner rights advocates than the victims. They refuse to take away the murderer's good time early release credits even while he was writing love letters to me from prison. I have a piece on all this at Townhall and did interviews with Cam Edwards and New Hampshire's WSMN radio. I also gave a couple of interviews on the dangers of gun-free zones.

The Governor of Ohio reversed his decision to veto a Stand Your Ground bill because of research that Lott did-- making Ohio the 34th state with such rules.

Andrew Pollack had an op-ed warning people about Joe Biden's gun control agenda and interviews on the riot at the Capitol, the problems with Washington Post's fact-checkers, the media bias against police and the 2nd Amendment, and school safety and election integrity.

There is also some positive news in state legislatures as Montana and Utah move to Permitless/Constitutional Carry, and Arkansas moves to be the 35 [sic] states [sic] with a Stand Your Ground law.
