Million Lies March critique by Thomas Lowell Sym
Columnist Thomas Lowell argues against the Million Moms March for stricter gun laws as misleading. He contends gun control arguments rely on cherry picked data, cites Israel Canada and Britain, notes higher ownership with lower murder rates, and claims gun laws harm law abiding citizens while crime trends reflect opposing outcomes. Lowell, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, asserts data show gun control costs more lives and defends concealed carry as reducing shootings.
