So, will Dr. Lott be talking about economics or guns or the economic costs of gun control, or the economics of the gun industry/market, the economic impact of crime (attributable to gun control), or what???

Women's suffrage maybe?

Women's suffrage and government growth

Using data from 1870 to 1940, Lott and Larry Kenny studied how state government expenditures and revenue changed in 48 state governments after women obtained the right to vote. Women were able to vote in 29 states prior to women's suffrage and the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Lott found that the impact of granting of women's suffrage on per-capita state government expenditures and revenue was startling.[23]

His research indicates that women's suffrage had a bigger impact on government spending and taxes in states with a greater percentage of women. Even after accounting for variables such as industrialization, urbanization, education and income, per capita real state government spending, which had been flat or falling during the 10 years before women began voting, doubled during the next 11 years. The increase in government spending and revenue started immediately after women started voting in national elections and 19 additional state elections.[24]

Heh, I know Elias Barboza, he's a friend of mine.

Sounds like we have the inside scoop.

Women's suffrage maybe?

IIRC, he also did a paper showing that if not for women's suffrage, not a single Democrat would have been elected president since 1920 (when the 19th A passed).

Imagine if FDR had not been elected? No threat to pack the Court. The Commerce Clause would make sense and the General Welfare Clause would be understood as what it meant at the time of the drafting of the Constitution.

Maybe the Founders really knew what they were doing after all?

I know Captain Barbosa he's a friend of mine too:

Yeah I realize how things might have been different.....and I'm not questioning his work. It's an interesting topic for sure. It's still funny though.

[AAShooter]

The ad in the college newspaper bills the talk as "More Guns, Less Crime".

[Nessal]

Awesome, I'm an alumni from CSUH. I swear they are a bit more conservative compared to most of the other schools that I've seen.

[Paladin]

Event starts in just over 1 hour.

It constantly frustrates me that getting back to precisely that is not the central goal of mainstream conservatism today. Or at very least that they have gotten zero results towards such 65 years after it was done.

I wonder if they're gonna throw a fit and demand an investiagation into where the money to get this sponser came from? Seems they only do that with normal speakers and let people like Imademonjob and his Ayers speak freely in our schools lol.

Didn't Lott recently open an account here?
