It was in their book 'Under the Gun' that liberal criminologists James Wright & Peter Rossi essentially stated that "gun control" represented misdirected energy.

Jimmy Carter had commissioned them to investigate the effects of the 1968 gun laws, and was disappointed in their findings.

Wright & Rossi openly state that at the beginning of their research they fully anticipated that gunz would be indicted by their findings. Nope. Ooooooooops!!
