An example of how more guns equals less crime is in John Lott’s book More Guns, Less Crime. John Lott is best known for his role in the gun rights debate, in particular his arguments against restrictions on carrying and owning guns. In his book Lott shows that communities where law abiding citizens are armed usually have the lowest crime
