Political Scientists Don’t See Why It’s Hard to Disarm Civilians
On 2 September, 2018, Kansas University released a summation of a study on how gun owners affect politics. The study will be presented at the American Political Science Association annual meeting in 2018, in Boston.A problem all scientists face is overcoming assumptions about reality they have already made.
