No one has ever mounted a successful academic refutation of John Lott's research, either. Makes worthwhile reading. Lott's findings induced him to buy a Ruger revolver and practice with it.

This says it all.
There is an agenda associated with all medical journals when it comes to firearms issues. It is another approach by those who wish to restrict the Second Amendment. Make it a public health issue. Much of their data conclusions are incorrect.
