I meant Lott, as in John Lott.

I would like to see where you are getting your statistics. As a percentage I imagine it is much higher than things like knives etc. Most of the folks in mass shootings have purchased the guns legally despite having varying red flags. Which points to a need to reform the system a fair bit.

And it is not always reported, but it takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to imagine that it is more than double or so the amount of reported crime. Seems to me that would be captured in the statistics everybody else seems to be using.
