The USSR Stripped Its Citizens Of Guns, Then Collapsed Without A Shot Being Fired

The above quotation, supposedly a private communication to Fox News gun advocate, John Lott, is completely unsupported by every documented comment concerning gun ownership made by Barack Obama. History will show that President Obama, like most sane Americans, believes that guns should be as well-regulated as automobiles and automobile drivers.

Wikipedia Excerpts:

Disputed "defensive gun use" survey

In the course of a dispute with Otis Dudley Duncan in 1999–2000,^[58][59] Lott claimed to have undertaken a national survey of 2,424 respondents in 1997, the results of which were the source for claims he had made beginning in 1997.^[60] However, in 2000 Lott was unable to produce the data, or any records showing that the survey had been undertaken. He said the 1997 hard drive crash that had affected several projects with co-authors had destroyed his survey data set,^[61] the original tally sheets had been abandoned with other personal property in his move from Chicago to Yale, and he could not recall the names of any of the students who he said had worked on it. Critics alleged that the survey had never taken place,^[62] but Lott defends the survey's existence and accuracy, quoting on his website colleagues who lost data in the hard drive crash.^{[63][self-published source?]}

Mary Rosh persona

In response to the dispute surrounding the missing survey, Lott created and used "Mary Rosh" as a sock puppet to defend his own works on Usenet and elsewhere. After investigative work by blogger Julian Sanchez, Lott admitted to use of the Mary Rosh persona.^[62] Sanchez also pointed out that Lott, posing as Rosh, not only praised his own academic writing, but also called himself "the best professor I ever had".

Many commentators and academics accused Lott of violating academic integrity, noting that he praised himself while posing as one of his former students,^[71][72] and that "Rosh" was used to post a favorable review ofMore Guns, Less Crime on Amazon.com. Lott has claimed that the "Rosh" review was written by his son and wife.^{[72][broken citation]}

"I probably shouldn't have done it—I know I shouldn't have done it—but it's hard to think of any big advantage I got except to be able to comment fictitiously," Lott told the Washington Post in 2003.^{[72][broken citation]}
