[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 2686077, member: 3448"] In the Linkedin discussion he is adamant that empirical evidence proves that the presence of a gun makes one less safe, that John Lott's research is discredited and that the gun restrictions do not lead to assaults with other weapons like knives. Hard to give respect to the position of a "professional" who teaches others to recognize diverse points of view by removing emotion when his own article begins with a position based on emotion rather than rational thought. My own unscientific research online found that the debunkers were debunked and that while a couple of researchers did disagree with Lott's conclusions, a couple dozen did agree with his research. One even changed his own position and joined Lott in further study. [/QUOTE]
