Finally, you realize that you in way over your head trying to argue the substance and so instead you try to attack the authors. Hey, whatever it takes to keep believing the NRA propaganda, right? You can't find a flaw in the statistics, so you play the "bias" card.
I guess you must have forgotten that the reason I chose this specific study is that it is authored by Jens Ludwig, the same social scientists that was quoted in that article. You know, the guy that you thought was credible when you thought it suited your political agenda...
You are tying yourself in knots with your denialism. Why not just accept reality?
