Rollye James

Dr. John R. Lott Jr., author and President of the Crime Prevention Research Center, joins the Rollye James show to talk about his latest book, “Gun Control Myths: How politicians, the media, and botched “studies” have twisted the facts on gun control.” In this book, Lott blows away one false myth about gun ownership after another. From myths about mass public shootings to suicides to gun ownership rates and crime to gun-free zones, Lott addresses the claims you frequently hear in the media and explains what is wrong with those claims. Gun Control Myths is now available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.

Fun playing trivia as always!

Holding over our main question till next week to give you time to think about. Listen in to find out the question! As for Bumper Stumpers, this was the last week with the letter “L”. Groups or artists’ first names all began with “L”.

Rollye is back! On this Monday Night Trivia, listeners answered a couple of the questions correctly (and one we’ll hold over until next week). Here’s what answers were revealed:

Police spend 15% of their time on the job time on this. What? Responding to false burglar alarms. As of the early 2000s, Los Angeles cops responded to 106,000 alarm calls. 95% were false. In2004 the city began assessing a $115 charge for false alarm response, probably a lot more than that now.

Over 40 million of these have been sold in the US since the late 1950s, yet almost nobody admits to buying one. What? Plastic Pink Flamingos. Would you admit it?

Fun, as always playing Monday Night Trivia.

No one got the straggler from last week, so we revealed at the end of the show: In World War 2, it only happened to 1 in 50 soldiers. At the start of the gulf war it happened to 1 in 4. What happened? Death by friendly fire (Americans accidentally shooting fellow Americans).

As far as Bumper Stumpers A to Z, we were working on the letter “L”. All the artists’ first names or group names began with “L”. We’ll probably continue with L for next week.

You guys were good last night—aced multiple questions on Monday Night Trivia:

Whenever you do this, and you probably do this a lot, more than half a million people around the world are doing it at the exact second you do. Do what? Hit the spacebar on a computer keyboard. (It’s actually estimated to be 600,000 hits every 1/10th of a second. It’s the most used key on the board. 18% of all hits go to the space bar.)

Recorded history tells a sociological tale. World wide it’s common to find periods of feasts and famines, weather disasters and calm seas, but only 8% of the earth’s recorded history reveals periods of this. Of what? Peace worldwide. (92% of recorded history includes a war somewhere.)

These have been around forever but it wasn’t until the 1950s that the first electric one was sold. Electric what? Wheelchair. (1956. Invented by Herbert Everest & Harry Jennings, who also invented the first folding wheelchair in 1933.)

You didn’t do as well with Bumper Stumpers A to Z. We tackled the letter “K”. All the artists’ first names, or group names began with K.
