Talk at G.O.A.L.S. 2024 in Knoxville, TN

Dr. John Lott spoke at the Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (G.O.A.L.S.) in Knoxville, TN on August 17th about the myth that crime rose under Trump and fell under Biden. The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime. The FBI has been finding fewer instances of crime, but people are simultaneously answering in greater numbers that they have been victims.
