Hollywood could hand the liar a check for a million or two and welcome him into the "Old Fat Cats Lying Liberals Club of Hollywood." Looks to me like Bellesiles has earned his membership rights.
What scholars????
Maybe Robert Redford will make a movie based on this heroic man's fight to stop guns from killing children.

You have untold riches. Bellesiles, even with Hollywood money, will always be a liar and a cheat. How fancy a car, how high a title, how large a house, would a person have to have to cover that level of creepiness? Look at Clinton -- he lived in the White House, lead the free world, and no one with class has any respect for him.
You're a winner LS, and a part of you has to know that.
Like Monty Python's "Life of Brian," "Thanks for the gold, but you can keep the frankensense and myrrh."
Snip...Yeah, right...
This award is well-earned, said Michael Barnes, President of Handgun Control and the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence. Professor Bellesiles has produced a work of unquestionable historical and societal merit. The National Rifle Association and its allies rely on a mythology about guns and the Second Amendment because they have few legitimate, rational arguments. By exposing the truth about gun ownership in early America, Michael Bellesiles has removed one more weapon in the gun lobbys arsenal of fallacies against common-sense gun laws.
