This week on NewsRadio 840 WHAS, Leland Conway is tackling a pressing issue in Louisville: the city's gang problem and the blame game that follows. The speaker is calling out Metro Council members for pointing fingers at law-abiding gun owners instead of addressing the root causes of crime. He's joined by John Lott, the renowned expert on gun statistics, to discuss the facts behind defensive gun uses and the importance of understanding the data.

The conversation delves into the recent shootings in Louisville and the city's refusal to acknowledge its gang problem. Leland and John Lott discuss the statistics on defensive gun uses, which show that the number of instances where law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves is much higher than previously thought. They also touch on the FBI's error in reporting the number of mass shootings stopped by good guys with guns.

The speaker is passionate about the need for the community to take responsibility for addressing the root causes of crime, rather than scapegoating law-abiding citizens. He emphasizes that the data shows that concealed carry permit holders are the least likely group of people to commit crimes. Leland and John Lott also discuss the importance of understanding the facts behind gun ownership and use, rather than relying on emotional appeals.

If you're interested in learning more about the facts behind gun ownership and use, and how the city can work towards a safer community, tune in to this episode of NewsRadio 840 WHAS. Leland Conway and his guest, John Lott, will give you a clear-eyed look at the data and the issues at play.
