The CCRKBA discusses a report by the Maryland State Police which says that the multi-year Maryland effort to collect and image/catalog cartridge cases isn't worth continuing.
The URL for the CCRKBA item: http://www.ccrkba.org/pub/rkba/press-releases/CC-Maryland-boon.htm I've searched the State of Maryland web site for the report and haven't found it. -- --henry schaffer

I just came across a new book:
Author: Hoffer, Peter Charles, 1944- Title: Past imperfect : facts, fictions, fraud-- American history from Bancroft and Parkman to Ambrose, Bellesiles, Ellis, and Goodwin Published: New York : PublicAffairs, c2004. Edition: 1st ed. Material: xiv, 287 p. ; 25 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [241]-272) and index. ISBN: 1586482440
which has a full chapter (30 1/2 pages) "Falsification: The Case of Michael Bellesiles" and I read that chapter. It recounts the events from the point of view of an academic historian - and it mentions the involvement of some people on this list. It makes no excuses for Bellesiles - rather it is quite harsh.
I got a sad chuckle out of a few lines - from p 143 - which brings back memories:
"When conservative critics raise questions about the veracity of the research and the validity of the conclusions, accuse them of lacking expertise and exhibiting an excess of partisanship. When fellow professionals begin to raise similar questions about the work, claim that the NRA and its stooges are out to get him. Bellesiles almost got away with it." -- --henry schaffer

Mildly interesting state case on restoration of firearms rights after probation is completed.
