Michael Bloomberg’s The Trace Worried about Dr. John Lott Joining the Trump Administration
Who knows what the outcome of the election on November 5th will be, but gun control activists are already very worried about what it would mean for gun control. Gun control groups, such as Michael Bloomberg’s The Trace, have jumped ahead and are concerned about the possibility of CPRC’s Dr. John Lott working in the Trump administration.
“The obvious choice is for the Trump administration to completely dismantle [Office of Gun Violence Prevention],” said Devin Hughes . . .
“More likely, however, they will use the office as a platform to spread disinformation on gun violence that is favorable to the gun lobby, with someone like John Lott at its head,” Hughes said, referencing the debunked economist and Trump administration alum whose skewed crime statistics are touted by Republican lawmakers and the gun lobby. . . .
