TO ASK THE QUESTION IS TO ANSWER IT: Why is it That So Little of the ‘Science’ Around ‘Gun Violence’ Can be Replicated? “Last week, NRA-ILA pointed to new research showing that the social ‘sciences’ exhibit woeful, and increasing, political bias. Compounding this problem, this week, a large team of researchers published another study showing that roughly half of social ‘science’ research can’t be replicated. Replication is vital to determining whether a study’s conclusions are in fact valid.”

Or to put a finer point on it, whether the researchers did anything approximating science.
