It isn't Trent Lott. It's John Lott. And the fact that you have formed an opinion about his research without reading any of it speaks volumes about your ability to look at things with an open mind.

OT This excerpt kinda supports my theory: What is the chance (given the firearm death rates that prevailed in 1998) that the parents will lose one of their sons to gunfire by age 20? The answer is about 1 in 115, or close to 1%, with almost all of that risk coming from homicide. For whites, the answer is about 1 in 512, with most of the risk stemming from suicide. Hispanics are in between, at about 1 in 260, mostly from homicide. The research that needs to be done is what percentage of these fatalities were youth on youth. As far as I know a 15 year old cant buy a gun at a pawn shop or any other place for that matter. If the killing was done with the parents gun then arent the parents as equally responsible for poor supervision, not locking there gun, etc.?? IF none of the above applies, then the youth had to get the gun in the black market. VM
