John Lott is embroiled in several controversial affairs:

*****he almost certainly fabricated a mysterious survey and certainly behaved unethically in making claims for which he had no supporting data
*****he presented results purporting to show that “more guns” led to “less crime” when those results were the product of coding errors
*****he pretended to be a woman called “Mary Rosh” on the internet in order to praise his own research and accuse his critics of fraud.
*****he probably was the person who anonymously accused Steve Levitt of being “rabidly antigun”
