More democrats less crime?

| | Comments (0)

Lott points to a recent phenomenon where gun lovers are buying up now to avoid costly regulation later.


"We call it the Obama factor. People are very concerned that if a Democrat is elected they will see more restrictions on handguns and assault rifles." Godell said. "I think as a result of that we have seen steady handgun sales, and there's been an increase in the sale of assault rifles like AK-47s, as well."

Given Lott's More Guns Less Crime thesis, does this mean we can expect to see crime drops after elections when democrats were favored to win?
