So much for that argument.

Haha, no.

His study only asked voters. That eliminates 40% of the population right there.

His sample size is small. Most national level surveys sample five times the amount of people.

He didn't establish which usages were legitimate, illegitimate or whatever. We know nothing about any of the incidents.

The surveyors asked to speak only to the male head of household.

He included incidents in which guns were used on animals.

He did not distinguish between civilian, military or police incidents.

His numbers suggest that bulglary victims used guns in self defense more than 100% of the time.

His results could not be replicated, and all other surveys conclude guns are used about one tenth of the time Kleck suggests.

It is a very poor piece of research. If you want to reference DGUs than at least use a legitimate study. There are plenty out there.

Lott's a fraud, and his work is, to put it politely, suspect. I know that upsets you, that you have to regard his word as gospel because it's what you're told to believe, but Lott's still a fraud.

See if getting upset and calling me names makes that go away.

That's your opinion, but It's not mine.

The anti gun experts I quoted say you're wrong. You did not prove them wrong or that your assesment is correct. I'm going with them and with kleck.

And I don't really care who is right or wrong. It is not a statistical issue.

You quoted one guy from a Wikipedia article. But alright.
