Lott, how does private gun ownership prevent broken lightbulbs?
I’m glad you asked. According to my research, 98% of the time, lightbulbs can be changed by merely brandishing a firearm. Q: That’s interesting. You are aware according to 9 different surveys, 21% to 67% of the time the defender actually had to shoot the gun to change the lightbulb. 98% is obviously much lower than any of these surveys- it implies that it’s almost never necessary to actually fire the gun. A: Yes. Well. I did this survey, but the dog ate it. Q: But you’ve been quoted over 50 times using the 98% figure. If it isn’t correct, people could be making very dangerous decisions based on your advice.
