USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The USA is not 1st in mass shootings – we’re 63rd! The liberal media lies.
Why cannot liberals tell the truth? We saw it in the Kavanaugh hearings, women coming forward claiming to have been raped only to announce later that they had made it up and “just wanted to help.” It is barely understandable when you see individuals do it. It is totally unacceptable when you see academics do it. Such is the case of Adam Lankford, a professor at Alabama. Simply put it appears he just made up his research to provide a result that made him popular with the left. His study claims the U.S. is the leader in mass shootings.
The fact is based on his criteria the U.S. is 63rd in mass shootings.
Did Adam Lankford sell his integrity for notoriety? Should this fraud still have a job?
Enter John Lott:
John Lott is a Professor of Economics, and author More Guns Less Crime.
He and his group decided to reconduct Mr. Lankford’s study. Looking at the same exact time period and using the same precise definitions as the earlier study. The results were dramatically different and academically sound! The U.S. is not 1st in mass shootings; we’re 63rd!
So how do the two studies differ? The Lankford paper is 13 pages long, with no list of the shootings or event tallies. The Lott study is over 500 pages long, fully documented, and has a complete list of the shootings tallied.
Dear readers, this is why we NEED John Lott and need to support his Crime Prevention Research Center. No one else will question the claims of fraudulent academics. When outlandish claims are made, who’s to challenge them? When academics sell out for political correctness, who will right that wrong?
Many of you want to know how you can help preserve our 2nd Amendment rights? Well here’s a start. Subscribe to Dr. Lott’s site and share what you learn.
Professor Lott produced a video to explain their findings; you might like to see it.

@Wild Bill;@tomcat; It is great to see how far he is trying to push his agenda under the wire not to be found out !!!!!!!!
@tomcat; If they are going to do, take yourself out and leave the rest of us to savor the moment you left!!!!!!
Will Bill,
Reload as I am not one that believes in fetus cleansing. Yes, if you just sit around weeping and moaning that others will make decisions for you, you will be 100% correct. Keep it up Bill, or make a pro-active changes such as voting in ones that will enact change!
I would urge everyone who reads this to contact UA Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice asking for an investigation of this Professor for academic fraud and malfeasance. Cite the study in your e-mail.
stfu gwd, how about addressing the millions killed by the baby-murderers @ planned “parenthood”? fu & your co-believers.
This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, with all of the people that have never owned a gun, shot a gun, going to a gun show to get one, really has some real cold facts. 1 most dealers at shows have a tendency to sell a new gun over a used one, great but I would see these people and I would tell them instead of a new gun take somebody that knows guns with them, pick a gun and let them check it out, buy the gun and at that point find a range and get… Read more »
The school, college, or university should be looking into firing this so called professor. An educator who would publish such false, made up statistics is in violation of their duty as an educator. This is a disgrace not only to the school, but to the students under his charge. Where’s their board of governors?
Fire the bastard.
Honduras is #1 on the list with 91.6 killings per 100,000 citizens per year. The U.S.A. is at #110 with 4.2 killings per 100,000 citizens per year. SWITZERLAND, has NO MURDER OCCURRENCE. The law requires that EVERYONE 1 Owns a gun. 2 Maintains Marksman qualifications regularly. Tell the anti-gun people to STUFF-IT where the sun doesn’t shine.
What we need to address are suicides and accidental shootings. Education in handling firearms, proper storage, safety and prevention of accidental discharge is a must for all gun owners! The NRA has excellent resources. Having a loaded gun nestled in the folds of your couch is not a good idea.
I say, let’s storm the news media everywhere and show people THE REAL TRUTH about biASSED media!
