I finished Lott's "More Guns, Less Crime" a couple

study.

You're way behind the times. Other researchers have analyzed
more data than Lott's and they found that Lott's research
fails to hold up.

Cites Cattle, Cites.

Be advised I will respond with other cites, that blow yours (again)
out of the water. Shall we discuss the Kleck/Mustard findings?

Hummmm???? Chortle...

There is better evidence that More guns does not equal Less
Crime. [Cook, 1991; Cook & Leitzel, 1996; Cook & Ludwig,
1996; Hemenway, 1997; Kellermann, Westohal, Fischer, &
Harvard, 1995; Ludwig, 1998; McDowall, Loftin, & Wiersema,
1995; Ayes & Donohue 1999; Ayers & Donohue 2003; Donohue
2003;Rubin & Dezhbakhsh 1998; Rubin & Dezhbakhsh 2003]

Kellermann? You still attempting to push Kellermann? Even HE said his
findings were bogus and withdrew them.

The rest, including Rubin and Dezhbaksh were blown out of the water by
Polsby & Kates, Mustard and Kleck and the US Department of Justice
studies.
Lott destroyed his own reputation by creating the Mary Rosh
sockpuppet, drawing conclusions from data that did not exist,
and modifying and back-dating models in an attempt to cover
up coding errors in his data.

Sure Cattle..sure....run it up the flag pole one more time..maybe
someone will somday believe you.
Lott *is* the gunner's Bellesiles.

Bellesiles..now there is a winner in the anti-gun extremist camp. A
cult figurehead of yours as I recall. Until he got caught not only
making up his research, but lying about it. Lost his Peabody Award,
lost his tenure at Emory...and all credibility now and forever. Whats
he doing now days? Asking "would you like fries with that?"

Snicker..come on Cattle..you can do better than that!! Your slowing
down..get with it...its time for you to be humiliated again. I know
you love it.
