The anti-gun lobbies.I would like to know who funds all these ridiculous studies. We should come up with a few and cash in.
When I worked for a doctor, I saw a lot of this; some doctor would want to sell something (some gadget or treatment they had) and they would start an "institute" with some scientific name, under the name of some of their buddy docs (it was better if their name wasn't on the institute "board") and then the institute would do a "study" claiming this or that or the other thing, get it published in some supposedly peer review journal (also buddies) and then they would sell more of their product or service.
This would go back and forth, with the people in one institute trading "studies" or endorsements for studies or endorsements from another institute, making it seem legit when it wasn't.
