Author of "MORE GUNS LESS CRIME" talks straight with the American people, listing statistics that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that gun control invariably fails to prevent or reduce crimes. See for yourself! This interview will be continued with more calls in the next video I upload.

  • All top ten violent crime states besides Maryland are concealed carry. Chicago has the same gun violence as Dallas. New Orleans is concealed carry and is #1 in gun violence. Alabama is the #1 violent crime state and is concealed carry. You're twice as likely to be shot by a criminal in the south than in the north east. This is because of poverty not because of any gun laws. You really think illiterate criminals follow gun laws, they don't even know the capital city in their state.

  • @THEINVENTABLETHREAT That's the whole point, since criminals don't follow gun laws, they should be less restrictive so that law-abiding citizens can own them and defend themselves from criminals.

  • There's no correlation between gun laws and crime nationally.

  • @THEINVENTABLETHREAT LMAO! Did you not listen to the statistics this guy compiled?

  • What is up with that dudes eyebrows?

  • @KleineHansel Not everyone looks like a movie star...

  • @scott71785 Those are actual statistics. Prove them wrong. I want concealed carry, I don't need biased statistics to believe in it. He states 1 or 2 statistics, hell he can state 50, it doesn't matter when there's 1000 statistics that say there's no correlation. I've read more info on this subject than you've ever read.

  • @THEINVENTABLETHREAT I love how you just spit out some complete nonsense in a single line as if it's a well known fact. Fact is, you are fucking WRONG! Go look at the REAL facts. The statistics are out there. Pull your head out of the fuckin gutter and try to learn something, fuckin moron.

  • MD's concealed carry laws r some of the most repressive in the USA! MD is technically a "may-issue" state, which means different sheriffs in different counties can use whatever standard they want 2 deny or grant concealed carry permits (in reality most law abiding applicants in MD r denied). MD is similar 2 NY (particularly NYC) in that retired leos/politicians/wealthy celebrities/wealthy business owners r granted permits & not rank-and-file law abiding citizens. what a disgrace!

  • IL (icluding Chicago) does not have the same crime rate as the state of TX (which includes Dallas)! the most recent FBI crime stats prove this fact (do the research). IL is the only state that provides no legal procedure 2 allow its residents 2 conceal carry. guess some ppl missed the fact that as recent as summer of 2010, IL politicians were calling 4 the IL Nat'l Guard 2 patrol Chicago's South Side due 2 out of control gun violence (even w/existing gun control laws). Amazing!

  • @NinjaRider777R It's not bullshit information if you know as much as I do about it. Most CC advocates consider Maryland basically a non-concealed carry state and one of the most unconstitutional states because it's next to impossible to get a CC license in Maryland unless you are directly connected to the sheriff's dept. by political clout or wealth.

  • @THEINVENTABLETHREAT Get your facts straight, you've now posted bullshit information in half a dozen videos.

    Maryland DOES have concealed carry permit laws in place.

  • @dtmbcorp I understand that gun laws should be less restrictive. I just have a problem with spinning % and numbers for an argument because of bias. There are a lot of studies that have been done by universities that are much more in depth and less biased than Lott's and most if not all of those studies show no correlation with crime and pro or anti gun laws nationally.
