Okay, Ooloo, I read your paper. I'm gonna be honest. I'm not a math expert but it seemed legit to me. Basic stats, right? But we should always be skeptical, it's generally a good idea, so I sought reactions to Lott's paper here. This is all just overlooking the possible bias and stuff, because whatever, this isn't debate club. I sling shit around too.
Now please read this one and let me know if you feel like taking the time to dig into the numbers to corroborate their claims that Lott's massaging the numbers for single-shooter incidents down a good bit domestically. Maybe that's accounted for in the international amounts, which Lott smartly admitted they don't have a complete set for, or didn't back when they compiled the data.
Or don't, your choice. Or find bias in this person, I don't have enough information either way for Lankford.
