Greg,
Can't you read e-mail properly? You've got it ALL wrong. If you can't be
careful, don't say anything.
One has to be careful in copying things into replies/forwards. CONTRARY TO
APPEARANCES OF THIS E-MAIL, I DID NOT "write" THE QUOTED LANGUAGE. Anyone who
has been reading my postings on FIREARMSREGPROF for the past 10 years, would
certainly suspect, if not KNOW, that to be the case!
LET ME REPEAT THAT -- I DID NOT "write" THE QUOTED WORDS.

) WROTE THAT STATEMENT.
It was in an article, written by MAXINE BURKETT (
http://hq.ssrn.com/Journals/RedirectClick.cfm?url=http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=691827&partid=47512&did=24820&eid=35845063
), who quite erroneously, IMHO, thinks that racism has something to do with
the Second Amendment. She is another Carl Bogus in her views. In my post, it
is easy to identify the real author rather than the commentator. In your
reply/forward, the commentator (me) is made to appear to be the author of the
views. This is a quirk in e-mail software but one that the sender of the
response CAN prevent by foresight and action.
It's nice that you "don't accept Professor's Olson's overall hypothesis,"
because you've got it all f**ked up! Go read MAXINE BURKETT (

)'s article which I cited (not accepted, praised, or validated) and see what
SHE says. HER VIEWS, not mine.
I know how this sort of thing starts out and that it has to be stopped at once.
I've been the victim before of this process whereby a poster is turned into an
author through someone else's sloppy e-mail reply or forward. I'm still trying
to kill off a recurrent e-mail FROM the year 2000 in which I am made to look
like the author of certain "controversial" statements. Statements that I never
made.

Prof. Olson writes:
"The reason is simple: The persistent and always tense debate over gun rights
has thinly veiled underlying racial and socio-political struggles that are as
old as the Union itself. "
I might be opening a can of worms but here goes.....
*** And I simply cannot accept Professor Olson's overall hypothesis.
Of course not, it is NOT Olson's hypothesis to begin with!
