Presentation tomorrow at the Heritage Foundation

I will be giving a presentation tomorrow at 12:30 at the Heritage Foundation on McDonald v. Chicago and its aftermath. This is from the announcement for the event.

Just days ago, the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in McDonald v. Chicago, holding that individual citizens have constitutional gun rights – not just against the federal government – but also against local governments, and striking down Chicago’s almost complete ban on handguns in the home. Several big city mayors are squawking that the sky will fall and violence will reign supreme. What are the legal and practical consequences of this decision?
In its decisions this year and in 2008, the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects individual gun rights of all Americans, but how broad are those rights? Even if most gun bans are unconstitutional, some regulations are permissible. Which ones? Just as important, what are the practical implications of more law-abiding citizens keeping guns? In McDonald, the High Court noted that gun murders increased after Chicago banned guns. Do more guns mean less crime, as John Lott argues in the third edition of his influential book? The Supreme Court has just begun to grapple with the meaning of the Second Amendment, but our panelists will have many more answers regarding both the legal and practical ramifications of the Court’s decision.
There will be a book forum on More Guns, Less Crime on June 17

There will be a book forum on More Guns, Less Crime on June 17

More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws, Third Edition,
(University of Chicago Press, 2010)

BOOK FORUM
Thursday, June 17, 2010
Noon (Luncheon to Follow)

Featuring the author John R. Lott, Jr.; with comments from Paul Helmke, President, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence; and Jeff Snyder, Attorney and Author, Nation of Cowards: Essays on the Ethics of Gun Control (Accurate Press, 2001). Moderated by Tim Lynch, Director, Project on Criminal Justice, Cato Institute.

Washington, DC 20001

On its initial publication in 1998, John R. Lott's More Guns, Less Crime drew both lavish praise and heated criticism. More than a decade later, it continues to play a key role in ongoing arguments over gun-control laws. Relying on a comprehensive data analysis of crime statistics and right-to-carry laws, the book challenges common perceptions about the relationship of guns, crime, and violence. Now in this third edition, Lott draws on an additional 10 years of data — including provocative analysis of the effects of gun bans in Chicago and Washington, DC — that he claims lends even more support to his central contention that more guns mean less crime. Join us for a wide-ranging discussion of guns, self-defense, and public safety.
