Mary Rosh Caught Lying Again...

[MrBenchley]

An excellent article that shows just how the gun lobby's favorite crackpot uses pseudoscience...

"Lott has a new article at Fox News where he claims that gun control is unravelling...Lott as usual, has cherry picked his statistics. There are lots of different crime statistics to choose from and some show increases while other show decreases. Lott just tells his readers about the ones that show increases. Violent crime in England has actually decreased significantly since the gun ban. .... Here is a table containing the crime figures for Australia. (I also have them in a spreadsheet.) In the last column of my table I compare the average for 1993–1996 with the average for 1997–2002. The with-gun robbery rate has declined by 10%. Don’t expect Lott to ever admit this."

1. Nothing New Here....

I'm beginning to believe that John Lott/Mary Rosh is a pathological liar - someone who cannot separate truth from lies.

Just like Nixon, Limbaugh, and Hannity.

3. I Just Had a Thought....

Wouldn't it be a bigger news story if John Lott/Mary Rosh every told the TRUTH?
