“No. You didn’t. You worked for a scam artist. “
He had NASA credentials. However, your point is well taken. I suspect, though, that the way he operated is how all of them operate. The name of the academic game is money. The people who have it have an agenda they want proven by “science.”
This is the global warming scam. None of those “scientists” who really are knowledgeable about their craft could possibly “believe” in anthropomorphic global warming. (Come on, you could fit 1.3 million Earths inside the sun and, technically, the Earth is still in an ice age, but just a mild part of one.) But the people with the GW agenda have money. If the scientists play along they live well; plush offices, BMW’s, foreign vacations... If they don’t, they will likely find they can’t get a job at a university sweeping floors. It’s a sucky system, but that’s how it works.
The governments of today have a much firmer grip over “science” than the Catholic church did at the time of Copernicus.
Here’s an interesting article on the Church and science.
Waiting laws save the lives of the bad guys but the good guys/women die.
Yeah; I’ll pass on this diaper load thank you.
These studies are right up there with global warming. The left has proven it will manipulate science to support its agenda. In fact, they demand it.
“We can say confidently that waiting period laws reduce gun homicides,” said Deepak Malhotra, professor of negotiation and conflict resolution at Harvard Business School and a researcher on the study. “There seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest that suicides also are reduced, but further research might be necessary on that issue.”

Gun homicides?
Doesn’t reduce homicides? Just perhaps maybe the method of homicide??
Since bangers don't buy their guns from gun shops, it would still be 9.
“Study” means “propaganda”. The conclusions of studies are written before they are carried out.
Read Gen.Blather’s post #6 about the college professor he worked for as a student.
Fake news.
First, this is bunk.
Second, I would be interested to be informed as to how a handgun waiting period could possibly affect crime when the purchaser already has access to one or more of his or her own firearms. With over 100 million gun owners, I would have to believe that the vast majority of those purchasing a new handgun are existing owners. Michigan points to the utter absurdity of such restrictions.
Third, if you were going to have restrictions upon exercising one Constitutional right, then I would suggest that there needs to also be a waiting period for the right to buy a newspaper or magazine, or to Surf particular sites on the Internet, or to attend a house of worship, or to write a letter to your Congressman protesting his latest set of lies, etc. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

“There seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest that suicides also are reduced, but further research might be necessary on that issue.”
“...7% to 11% decrease in gun suicides per year.”
If there’s a 10% drop in suicides, then it should be clear, unless the methodology is so poor that the two can’t be certainly connected. This, of course, calls into question the results for homicides.
No, if anything it’s a delay.
“There seems to be a lot of evidence to suggest that suicides also are reduced, but further research might be necessary on that issue.”
Reminds me of a state where a waiting period stopped several people from buying guns. They all still succeeded in killing themselves by other means.
The local police chief was thrilled the waiting period kept them from buying guns to kill themselves.
Go figure.
WRT that part of my post that said,
“Michigan points to the utter absurdity of such restrictions.”
Delete that - I have no idea how that got in there. I guess that the preview function is one’s friend.
Thanks for the ping to post #6.
The objective is to put gun shows out of business.
