John Lott:

I normally like NCIS on CBS, but this week was extremely disappointing. This week’s show entitled “Tribes” starts off with the absurd claim that “Nearly 30 percent of all gun related deaths are the result of the owners’ own weapon.”

I seem to recall reading that a fairly high number of police officers are killed with their own weapon.

I’ve addressed misinformation in cop dramas before, including that they get you acclimated to the notion that you don’t have certain rights and that cops are better than regular citizens.
