Lott’s “More Guns, Less Crime” Speech At UT Canceled After Campus Shooting

This morning, a gunman walked in a library on the University of Texas campus, fired off several shots and then killed himself.

So I guess it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that John Lott’s scheduled presentation at UT on how more guns lead to less crime has been canceled:

The event was being sponsored by the Texas Federalist Society, Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, Libertarian Longhorns, and the Objectivist Society:
