What Do You Call a "Gun Death Study" Put Out by the Antis?

Junk science.

WoG discussed the "study" here, and wondered if it would hold up to scrutiny.

It doesn't. The critique this post title links to demonstrates how "outcomes of the statistical analyses were ignored in the speculative comments made in the conclusions."

How convenient. How predictable. How "scientific."

So naturally, the "authorized journalists" have tripped all over themselves to bamboozle their readership into accepting validity of the first paper, and ignored this one. I've tried several different search terms to find this new analysis in any "news" accounts--so far, without "luck," as if that should be necessary.

  3. I'll go along with r_mate_e's decription. "Propagandistic lies" works, too
