Have nothing to do with the [evil] things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light... [For] when all things are brought out into the light, then their true nature is clearly revealed...

Flag of Cook County, Illinois

Not only is the population of Cook County, Illinois shrinking, it is disappearing faster than any major metropolitan area in the country. According to the Census Bureau 10,488 residents left over the last 12 months.

The Chicago Tribune interviewed dozens of them to find out why they left. Reasons included high taxes, the state’s budget stalemate that’s been going on for years, the high crime rate, the lack of employment opportunities and, of course, the weather.

Recent Status of Shall Issue Laws in America

With degrees from the University of Chicago, Yale, the Wharton School and UCLA in economics, it was clear from the beginning that John Lott wanted to become an academic, burying himself in esoteric econometric modeling for a narrow audience.

It was not to be. Lott became interested in how anti-gunners were using statistical analysis to prove that more guns would mean more crime, which analysis was then used to buttress political agendas to emasculate the Second Amendment.

He decided, in 1998, to write a small book entitled More Guns, Less Crime, to refute that analysis and present his own. As far as gun ownership was concerned, Lott was an agnostic.

When it was published in June, 1998, his book ignited such a firestorm of protest and indignation among the anti-gunners that he was forced to
