This gets mild barf alert, because it's about a bunch of academic lawyers (the equivalent of management consultants), hence mild, theorizing nonsense about the Second Amendment, hence barf alert. It's worth posting because I believe it's important to be aware of what the enemies of civilization are pushing.
If these were practicing lawyers involved in cases but speaking in generalities, it'd be a barf alert without the qualifier. If they were in an actual case, hurl alert. If it was lawyers involved in an actual case citing bogus statistics, it'd be a mega barf alert.
Your mileage may vary.
Totally agree with what you said.
