John Lott’s book, More Guns, Less Crime, about gun ownership and violence, has proven true over and over again since the original edition was published back in 1998. That’s why anti-gun advocates hate Lott so much—no matter how many lies they tell, he’s still right when all the numbers are crunched.
Such is the case in King County, Washington. And it’s a story that likely wouldn’t be told if that County didn’t also serve as home to the pro-gun rights group Citizens Committee to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA).
As CCRKBA leaders recently pointed out, news outlets in Seattle have been reporting on a decline in gun-related violence this year in surrounding King County. But what the reports are omitting is the fact that the declining crime has occurred at the same time as active concealed pistol licenses (CPLs) have increased in the county!

In short, the Russians understood this principle and the West did not. Washington, along with the NATO allies, believed they could cripple Russia’s economy and thereby defeat the Russians. Yet, little attention has been paid to the economic damage that Russia has inflicted on Ukraine. Most of the fighting since February 2022 has occurred on Ukrainian territory east of the Dnieper River.
The Dnieper is Ukraine’s primary inland waterway and historically one of the country’s most important economic arteries. Before the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, it accounted for a significant share of bulk freight transport and supported key export industries (grain, iron ore, steel, coal). The war and the 2023 destruction of the Kakhovka Dam has dramatically reduced its contribution to Ukraine’s economy. The following chart illustrates the financial damage to Ukraine’s economy as a result of the fighting that has taken place along the Dnieper River:.......more.........
