It's time the media stop treating serial-data-manipulator & bs artist John Lott as a credible source: thinkprogress.org/debunking-… #ALottOfLies

The GOP’s favorite gun ‘academic’ is a fraud

The journalistic quest for neutrality has led to a sacrifice of intellectual integrity.

armedwithreason.substack.com… Trump, Musk, & right-wing outlets are using reports from discredited researcher John Lott to claim the FBI manipulated crime data to hide an increase in violent crime. Pure BS. Dozens of respected experts and sources show historic decreases in violence.

NEW: We just released a report revealing that the rate of guns stolen from cars has *tripled* in the last decade. On average, at least one gun is stolen from a car every nine minutes in the US—most frequently in states with the weakest gun laws. apnews.com/article/stolen-gu…

Guns are being stolen from cars at triple the rate they were 10 years ago, a report finds

The rate of guns stolen from cars in the U.S. has tripled over the last decade, making them the largest source of stolen guns in the country.

VICTORY! After passionate advocacy by our volunteers, Pennsylvania @GovernorShapiro and @LGAustinDavis announced $100 million in funding to support gun violence prevention initiatives in the Commonwealth! We’re grateful for gun sense champions like Gov. Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Davis, who are taking important steps to further support communities most impacted by gun violence. #PAPolitics
