Hm. For a retired professor of criminology, who claims to be testing the factual underpinnings of the pro-2A arguments, he seems remarkably uninterested in citing to any sort of authority. (Read: I couldn't find a single in the whole blog.) For example, in "More Guns, Less Crime," the author claims that "[a] National Rifle Association document issued in 2010, ironically, provides data to undermine its champion scientist’s claim[,]" but makes no mention of what that document is, or where it can be found. If I were an anti, I'd be dying to know where to find that document. If you're going to go about the business of debunking the pro-2A arguments, shouldn't you cite some studies, some Federalist papers, something?
This blogger also claims to be the author of a "documentary novel." Isn't that an oxymoron? |

Why is it when Gun Control advocates argue against our RKBA, they attempt to enforce the ideal that it was only penned to secure armed militias or a standing army BUT all other Amendments are recognized as individual's rights?

I wouldn't ordinarily bother debating him, and don't plan on it, but I think it bears taking a look at his blog. He's the kind of anti that's credible enough, and well-spoken enough to actually be dangerous. GoTimothy, referenced in another thead, is an obvious loon. This guy's not obvious.

Again, this is a copyright problem and drive-by.
