I thought EVERYONE in the 2A activist community knew about the Michael Bellesiles debacle. It was all over the news for months, and the "gun press" had a bunch of articles about it as well. Even the Washington Post (which is about as Pro-2A as Sarah Brady) was highly critical of Bellesiles when the REAL story came out. He was an embarrassment to the entire academic community, and the exposure of his fraudulent "research" made fools of Columbia University, the anti-2A press, Emory University, and numerous academic journals. It rocked the academic world, although it did not really change the way that the peer-review process really works in academic publishing, which is STILL driven (even after getting burned BADLY by Bellesile's fraud) more by academic politics, socio-political agendas, and catering to their Fascist Internationalist benefactors than doing REAL research based on facts...
Anyway, here are a bunch of links. I'm not making this stuff up folks. I'm a big fan of Cramer's work, and I've been following him for about 10 years...
