It's possible to find researchers who side with the NRA in believing that guns make our society safer, rather than more dangerous. As I've shown, however, they're in the minority. [More]Well gee then, as long as the majority believes something, we can keep putting those pesky heliocentrists to the torch!

Why do I get the feeling the people targeted for questioning would left?
Anybody who starts from the assumption that science is about consensus is a fraud, an idiot, or both. Science is about independent experimental replication and verification, not about show of hands. Anything decided on a show of hands is politics.
We once had a scientific “consensus” that bumblebees didn’t have the aerodynamics to fly, and that it was impossible to make a radio tuning coil smaller than about a foot long. People like Bill (Learjet) Lear were smart enough to ignore the “consensus,” and made their first milions by doing things like inventing the car radio.
Screw consensus.
