    As Harvard Law does not have a hiring policy that allows for conservative, gun owning professors to exsist in any numbers, if at all, it is not suprising to see this very biased article.

    I believe this study deserves the same respect as a study gererated and reviewed by Hitler's or Stalin's own people. Bias in, bias out.

    As far as their false theory goes: more guns=more crime (they must include suicides to stir into the pot)---it is disproved by other Harvard study data:

    The following Harvard study map shows states in 2002 that had the most guns per household:

    The next map from the same time period shows the darker states havig the most violent crime:

    Notice how in almost every case, the places with the most guns (Wyoming, Dakotas) have the least crime.

    It is the agenda of Harvard Leftists to ban guns by generating false and misleading information.

    The presence of large numbers of poor minorities has a much bigger impact on the rates of crime than gun ownership and gun laws do. I would like to see a graph that ignores all crimes committed by non-whites, and then see if we can identify any geographic patterns.
