reminds me of a story about an author and his book. guy wrote a book based on the premise that not too many colonials actually owned guns, that there never was much of a gun culture. i remember all the gun control people lauding him, celebrating his 'study' that disproved the notion that every guy in america grabbed his squirrel rifle and went to fight the redcoats.
oh...and then they found out he made it all up, and completely ignored all the hard evidence contrary to his theory. of course that part didn't get much press at all! he just kinda disappeared.
