Hi Brent, is it ok if I call BS on you. Though I knew the outcome, I played the game anyway. A search of gun under Sheilds library at UC Davis turned up:
2001-2002 Report Comittee Hearing, California Legislative Assembly
The Armed Criminal in America
ATF, The Youth Crime Gun Interdiction
Three of the first five, the other two were in Japanese, and the antigun selections went on and on. I didn't bother looking for the volumes that waterman was hoping to browse through.
As a claimed academic, wouldn't you see that your few anecdotal examples are not fact nor do they prove willingness to tolerate gunmaking history.
You pounce a bit quickly on alternative points of view. Your experiences are valid, but your students also have points of view. I'd hope you're honest with them at the start of a semester and inform them 'if I say black is white, then that's the way it better be answered on the tests'.
Not hateful, bad or mean spirited, just, Craig
