No, not you, theotherTexasRich. I was just commenting on the throw-away earlier lines that overgeneralized about academics. Sorry, if I came across as cranky. I sometimes get discouraged by some gun forum rhetoric. Something negative happens and it is the end of the world. On about 4 different places, I frequent somebody says - See, there's no hope for colleges!!

All because of one story. How about - look at that - let's see if we can change attitudes. Other advocacy groups get their position attacked and they don't give up and declare their cause hopeless.

As far as the NRA - they had and have fine directors of research. They attend academic conferences like the American Society for Criminology and engage crappy antigun presentations.

They have helped me in some of my work.
