I read that when you posted it the first time. Most of it doesn't even address the data. The part that does, doesn't establish fraud. Of course fraud or not, any study with missing data should be heavily discounted. Which would mean more if it was the only study suggesting that more guns equal less crime, but it isn't. Most studies either show more guns less crime, or show no discernible effect on crime. So even if gun control took guns equally away from both law abiding people and dangerous criminals it wouldn't be supported by the data. But the reality is that gun control preferentially takes guns from the law abiding, leaving them disarmed or at least less likely to be armed, but leaving the criminals with the guns.
