BELLESILES UPDATE: Will Bellesiles’ problems undermine the gun control movement? This article from the History News Network says the answer is yes — noting that Bellesiles’ work was part of a coordinated program of scholarship aimed at undermining recent pro-individual rights scholarship. Not only has Bellesiles lost credibility, but the other articles all cite him extensively, which doesn’t do much for their credibility, either. This article draws together a lot of interesting threads in pro-gun-control scholarship, along with extensive links.
