Harvard: Gun control doesn’t work

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

This isn't a "Harvard study", by the way. It's a paper published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy which is a student edited law review of conservative and libertarian legal scholarship.

About

The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy is published three times annually by the Harvard Society for Law & Public Policy, Inc., an organization of Harvard Law School students. The Journal is one of the most widely circulated student-edited law reviews and the nation’s leading forum for conservative and libertarian legal scholarship. The late Stephen Eberhard and former Senator and Secretary of Energy E. Spencer Abraham founded the journal twenty-eight years ago and many journal alumni have risen to prominent legal positions in the government and at the nation’s top law firms.

Our Board of Advisors includes two U.S. Senators, four U.S. Court of Appeals Judges, and leading conservative and libertarian scholars.

Dynamic recent authors include Viet Dinh, John Yoo, Eugene Scalia, and Judge Guido Calabresi. In the past, we have published pieces by former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Justice Antonin Scalia, and Justice Clarence Thomas.

The Journal prides itself on developing the writing, researching, and editing skills of each staff member from the beginning of 1L year and continuing through all three years of law school. In collaboration with our sister organization, the Harvard Federalist Society, we provide guidance and advice on finding summer jobs with law firms, public interest groups, and the government. We also guide members through the judicial clerkship application process, and hold fun social events throughout the school year.

The paper itself was written by these two fellas - none of whom appears in any way associated with Harvard.

Don B. Kates (LL.B., Yale, 1966) is an American criminologist and constitutional lawyer associated with the Pacific Research Institute, San Francisco.

Gary Mauser (Ph.D., University of California, Irvine, 1970) is a Canadian criminologist and university professor at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC Canada.

I thought that was odd.

This is what happens when you post materials from fringe blogs - you get misleading headlines and thus misleading thread titles.

Why would bearingarms.com mislead us?!

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Why would bearingarms.com mislead us?!

Oh, I don't know. I'd speculate maybe because they have a pretty narrow agenda. The name of the blog kind of gives that away a little, don't you think?

You seem surprised.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

You seem surprised.

Not really. I noticed most of their cited sources were NRA toadies as well.

[Darnell 8,478]

Since Harvard did the study, I'll posit the data collection methods were skewed to match a pre-determined set of postulates and outcomes.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Since Harvard did the study,

Harvard didn't do the "study".

[Darnell 8,478]

Apologies - I see that, finally...

Oh well - nothing like a 'free range study' to get in for publication.

The title is misleading because the article is misleading. Duh.
