The Biden administration’s claim that a lack of gun control in the United States contributed to the historic spike in homicides in 2020 is “just bizarre,” according to a prominent economist.

John Lott, the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, told The Epoch Times “American Thought Leaders” program that there hasn’t been a visible change in the direction of gun laws that could have caused a spike in homicides in urban areas across the United States last year.
