Arm Yourself

An accomplished economist, Dr. Lott is one of the most published scholars who studies crime and any connections crime has (or has not, as the case may be) with firearms. I am familiar with the author’s previous publications, and consider this to be his best book yet.

The topic addressed in this book is chiefly the messaging having to do with firearms policy, so the author’s two obvious goals are to first characterize those policies and effects and then to pierce through the often heated rhetoric about how those policies or effects are characterized to the public. This is not a dry recitation of research facts – it is a forthright description of the ‘stuff’ of public discourse on guns, crime, and safety, made accessible to readers
