Anyone know which study Sowell references, conducted by a university professor who was subsequenly discredited?

I have a brain freeze right now and can’t remember the prof’s name but there was one at Emory University who published a scientific study based on gun ownership back in the 1700’s or maybe it was 1800’s.

He was caught simply making up facts and had to recant his remarks and I think may have even lost his job.

I’m not positive but after some looking it could be Dr. Arthur Kellerman refered to in this article, I didn’t read it all , just glanced.

I believe the discredited professor you are thinking of was

Michael A. Bellesiles...

I spend a few minutes, and was unable to find an actual copy of the study, but two things are noteworthy... First, the offending study seems to have been erased from academic memory.
Secondly, The rumor is that the disgraced "Professor," an emergency room MD, subsequently resigned from the university.

The following link might shed some additional light.

Hope that link works; great analysis.
