John Lott is a noted economist who has studies crime in America, and specifically the correlation between crime and gun ownership. In this video with Frank Miniter of The Armed Citizen Podcast, Lott talks about why America is experiencing a period of all-time low violent crime such as murder. It’s no coincidence that all-time high gun-ownership and aggressive prosecutions by the Trump administration—combined with border enforcement—have made a huge positive impact.
