This is a normal post I read, it but "open salon"? Really?
Here is a U of Chicago economist that studied the relationship between gun ownership and crime. He found that increased gun ownership resulted in less crime.

He weighs in here on this matter (again only if facts and the law are relevant, and not just knee jerk outrage):http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/294609/it-s-not-about-stand-your-ground-john-r-lott-jr

I encourage a read of this study: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0226493660/ref=nosim/nationalreviewon

This is a normal post John Lott?
The right-wing academic whose results have never been replicated by other academics?
Hmmm.

This is a normal post Would love to see the link to the researchers who attempted to replicate his study and failed.
And the U of Chicago never allows professors from the right.

This is a normal post As Stan Lee would say, " 'Nuff said."
Mary Rosh persona
As part of the dispute surrounding the missing survey, Lott created and used "Mary Rosh" as a fake persona to defend his own works on Usenet and elsewhere. After investigative work by blogger Julian Sanchez, Lott admitted to use of the Rosh persona.[56] Sanchez also pointed out that Lott, posing as Rosh, not only praised his own academic writing, but also called himself "the best professor I ever had".
Some commentators accused Lott of transgressing normal practice, noting that he praised himself while posing as one of his former students,[63][64] and that "Rosh" was used to post a favorable review of More Guns, Less Crime on Amazon.com. Lott has claimed that the "Rosh" review was written by his son and wife.[64]
"I probably shouldn't have done it—I know I shouldn't have done it—but it's hard to think of any big advantage I got except to be able to comment fictitiously," Lott told the Washington Post in 2003.[64]

He has questionable ethics, but it doesn't disprove his findings.

If you want, gaz me and we can discuss.
