Who's Gullible?

Tim Lambert, who authors the Australian blog Deltoid which is dedicated to the pursuit and exposure of John Lott as a fraud (and I tend to believe Tim is more right than wrong about that), picked up on the outrage many of us felt over a recent short news story I commented on last week. Tim writes that we seem gullible in jumping to the conclusion that "self defence is illegal in the UK." I've taken him to task over this topic in the comments to his post. He seems to be avoiding the pertinent questions here.
