Does anyone know how to get a hold of the likes of John Lott Jr.?
The reason is, I want to prompt a reputable statsitician to do a study on how much money the presence of guns in America SAVES every year.
I am tired of hearing about how much damage "guns do" and the cost of health care when compared to smioking. Guns, when used correctly, save lives. Cigarettes, when used corectly....do not. Guns are used correctly 99.8% of the time, so they must be doing a lot of good.
What I want to see is a study done that calculates the average amount of phycical damage done to a person in an a variety of assaults, how much it costs in health care, and then use records and estimates of how many of these crimes are stopped each year, and therefore how much money the presence of guns saves our health care industry every year. I realize there would be a lot of factors in this study, and it must be done by someone reputable and knowledgable. So, how do I go about suggesting that a study like this be done? Who do I email?
It would be a very easy study, and with the data together, I imagine that a skilled person in the field could whip it out pretty quickly. Then I want to paste it all over the place, mail it to all the media, and shut these people up that claim that guns do all these bad things and cost us so much in health, when we all know that the presence of guns stops many times more crimes than commited.
