Pro-gun activist Neal Knox has leaped to Lott's defence. He claims that Lott is in trouble for getting the same result in his survey as Kleck when in fact concerns were raised because Lott's brandishing number was so very different from Kleck's. I was going to do a detailed dissection of Knox's claims, but gzuckier beat me to it.
Mac Diva does not believe the story about the Independence Institute editing Lott's article. I will post more on this tomorrow.
