BTW - An anonymous donor will match dollar for dollar up to $200K for any donations made."Nobody else is really doing this kind of research right now," Lott said. "You have places like the NRA and Gun Owners of America, and they can certainly be a useful thing – but none of them really deal with hard data. There's an asymmetry because Bloomberg can fund studies and it doesn't bother the media. But if the NRA were to fund someone who did research it would be completely dismissed."
Lott will launch CPRC using funds donated by individuals who support his mission.
"I want to get a group of academics together who can produce high-quality research on these topics," he said. "We also plan on doing original research, not just responding to what others have done. Many reporters don't understand the facts – if anti-gun groups provide information, the media are usually sympathetic to that narrative."
