Crime Prevention Research Center   Dear Diogenes: For those in Atlanta this coming weekend, I will be giving six talks covering three different topics at the NRA convention: GUN CONTROL MYTHS, THE FBI CRIME DATA IS POLITICIZED AND A MESS, and HOLLYWOOD'S BIAS AGAINST GUNS. If you are going to be there, please stop by and say hello. Our new research on active shooting cases systematically compared how uniformed police and civilians with concealed handgun permits perform in stopping these attacks has gotten some coverage. Colion Noir has a nice video that has already received 124,000 views. Bearing Arms called it "An Eye-Opening Study on Civilian Response to Active Shooters." I also appeared on Wisconsin's Vicki McKenna Show and Cleveland's WHK with Bob Franz. I also discussed it on One America News. You might have seen the headlines across the country repeating a University of Colorado public health study claiming that "1 out of every 15 American adults have been at a mass shooting." But it is more bogus and dishonest public health research. That figure suggests that 18 million Americans have witnessed a mass shooting firsthand, and 5.6 million were "injured." It is an outrageous claim that falls apart under basic scrutiny. I explain the errors in a new op-ed piece available here. Other radio interviews discussed the errors in FBI data, the Supreme Court decision in the VanDerStok case, national concealed carry reciprocity, my book on Gun Control Myths, the Ninth Circuit's recent gun control decisions, the effectiveness of non-lethal defense methods, the shifting of ATF agents to the FBI, and a wide range of crime and gun control issues. It is hardly a surprise, but gun control advocates immediately called for all sorts of new gun control after the Florida State University shooting, but they completely ignore that the attack occurred in yet another gun-free zone. We have updated our list of defensive gun uses by people legally carrying concealed handguns for January 2025. If you haven't already seen it, please watch our new video with John Stossel, which covers our new research showing errors in the FBI's active shooting reports. We need help getting our research out. It doesn't do us any good to do all this work if people don't see it. If you have friends you think might find our emails interesting, please encourage them to sign up by sending them the link here. Thank you very much. We need your support to continue doing the work that we do. Our end of the year donations are   I don't think that there is any organization with as small of a budget that regularly produces as much as we do. Thank you very much. .
