I have never heard of this case, but I think the professor's initial research about gun ownership in America
b4 the Civil War is interesting. He may revise his opinions, in future books. Other scholars may update
his work and criticize it as well. Knowledge and reaching for the truth requires constant diligence,
revision and argument.

I am not sure why the NRA is so upset. People own guns for many legitimate reasons: hunting is a sport
and farmers may own a gun to protect their livestock from the stray coyote or grizzly, depending upon
where they live.

The serious concern is that firearms are easy to obtain by killers, like the recent sniper in the Washington,
DC area.
