Defending Hunters
Joni Ogle and I have a piece defending hunters in today's New York Post.
The piece starts off:
WITH all the fall-out over Dick Cheney ac cidentally peppering his friend with birdshot, few will probably ever hear that hunting with guns is not a particularly dangerous sport. Nor will they hear any mention that hunting can help save people's lives by helping control animal populations.
A Nexis search of news stories found that in all the avalanche of news coverage none of the national television news broadcasts on Sunday and Monday mentioned gun-hunters' safety record. Only three of the 76 newspaper and wire stories through Monday had mentioned anything about these accidents being rare. . . .

Mr. Lott, I've long been a fan of your articles and I was wondering where I might obtain a quick list of stats detailing how increased gun ownership lowers crime rates, particularily crimes against women.
Great site, by the way. I would be honored to have you visit my blog.
