armed bearIf you haven’t been over there yet, the folks at The Monkey Cage are providing a slew of stuff on gun-control, gun-violence, and cognate topics.*

And, yes, this was mostly an excuse to re-post my armed bear photo from Sun Moon Lake.

*I’ve been critical in the past of The Monkey Cage for over-claiming the definitiveness of social-science research — and issue that Rob Farley and I discuss in the still-delayed sixteenth Duck of Minerva podcast. So let me reiterate that I still consider the act of disseminating and interpreting such research a genuine public good.
