Oh, I got it
I didn’t really understand the whole John Lott v. Steve Levitt thing. Now, I do. Speaking of Lott, I’ve been slowly reading (really slowly due to every time I sit down to read I hear Daddy, I wanna peanut butter sandwich/chocolate milk/etc.) his book Freedomnomics. The chapter on crime and punishment would be particularly interesting to my fellow gun nuts as it explores various reasons why crime dropped (carry laws, death penalty, prison population up). And why it did not (abortion, broken windows, etc.). Here is a list of some items that may be of interest.
