(20,709 posts)OK, so let me predict right off the bat that you are never going to get around to addressing either of my criticisms of Kleck, either in your own words, or even by finding where Kleck himself addresses them. I'm pretty confident, because this is what has happened every other time we've had this argument, but you've got a chance to prove me wrong here.
So now back to our show.
Do you really need me to find for you where Kleck compares his phone survey DGU numbers with NCVS estimates of gun crimes? Really? Have you actually read Kleck? Because this is pretty basic stuff.
I'll tell you what. I'll do your homework for you, and I'll point out to you where Kleck does this. But since we've already had this discussion several times, and since I've already pointed out this and other such things over and over again to you, this time I'm asking for something in exchange.
Before I do your homework, you need to unambiguously deny that Kleck makes this comparison. No weaseling out. You need to agree to the following: "I, gejohnston, am unambiguously denying that that Gary Kleck, in his paper "Armed Resistance to Crime" compares his phone survey DGU estimates to NCVS estimates of gun crimes in order to claim that DGUs are more common", then I'll be happy to show you just where you're wrong.
How does that sound?
Or, you can just admit that Kleck does in fact draw this comparison, and, in your own words (or even in Kleck's words), explain why this comparison is fair.
