When it comes to recommending studies on firearms dealers, regulation, and gun sales to journalists, the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School is consistent. Consistently bad and consistently biased, that is.
When you see journal articles referenced that have been authored by the likes of Garen Wintemute of UC Davis' Violence Prevention Research Program , Daniel Webster of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and David Hemenway of the Harvard School of Public Health, you know that they have an agenda and that agenda is anti-gun.
And then there is this:
Finally, media outlets such as the New York Times continue to investigate the various mechanisms by which guns are sold on the Internet, often with little oversight or rules in place (also see Wired magazine’s explainer on the issue).Really? The New York Times? A paper that has never seen a restrictive gun law that it didn't like unless it was a more restrictive one? As to little oversight and no rules for Internet sales of firearms, these "investigations" totally ignore Federal law that mandates interstate sales must go through a FFL and get a NICS check.
Never let it be said that facts got in the way of promoting an anti-gun agenda at Harvard.
