In 2000 Dr PAUL MULLEN ( picture left ), originally from England, co authored the paper below for an American medical journal with two others on famous gun massacres.
An analysis the paper finds substantial errors and conclusions that don't add up. ( The failure to get simple things right like the year of the Texas Whitman shooting - cited as 1963 - when it was 1966 and the name of the film later made about it proves it was a sloppy effort ).
As Andrew MaGregor has detailed on another webpage, contrasted against known conflicting facts about these incidents, the paper is shonky. And this ascertion is added to the fact that at least 2 of its authors are linked to the anti-gun movement ( as is the journal that published it ) and have expressed anti-gun views in other forums ( Mullen & Alpers ).
But the paper has value to gun owners because it discloses a lot of things of use to us. One example is Frank Vitkovic's remarks during the shooting at Queen Street - when he said " how do THEY expect me to kill people with this gun ?" - listed below on page 4. We must ask WHO is THEY ? Was the gunman referring to the people who mind programmed him and supplied the gun for the massacre ? - as it is the only possible logical answer.
We have put it online so you can see for yourself.
