Reply #57: As others have pointed out, no, you haven't

I see the names of David Hemenway, Deborah Azrael, Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig recurring a few times. I did say "all of which are by different people." Maybe I should have made it more clear that I meant that each individual could only show up once, rather than a specific combination of individuals, but honestly, if, in response to a similar challenge on your part, I'd cited a batch of studies in which the names Gary Kleck, Marc Gertz, Don Kates and Gary Mauser repeatedly showed up in various combinations in half the examples (or worse, John Lott and David Kopel), would you honestly not have called me out on that? I myself would say you'd be remiss not to.

And aside from that, a few others of the known "usual suspects"--Arthur Kellermann, Garen Wintemute, Matthew Miller, Brian Wiersema, Martin Killias, Stephen Teret--show up as well. I mean, as evidence that the research supporting gun control is not being produced by a fairly small nucleus of researchers (plus varying orbiting electrons), your list, if anything, does the very opposite.

Difference is, of course, that I don't claim that there's some "academic consensus" supporting my position. Let's be honest, the bulk of the research concerning criminological and public health effects of private firearms ownership is produced by a comparatively very small number of people on either side, with the remainder of the wider respective communities not really taking much of an interest one way or another. It's very much a niche sub-field.
