Kleck is a ridiculously biased researcher. Some pearlers from his past include claiming that every survey-claimed DGU equalled a life saved[1], and that Australia would become a &#x27;Wild West&#x27; in the wake of the &#x27;90s gun bans - Australia continues to be considerably safer than the US, twenty years down the track.[2]<p>[1] Apparently &quot;I claim I brandished my gun and a robber left me alone&quot; is now a life saved, not a wallet saved.<p>[2] The actual &#x27;Wild West&#x27; in history was a much safer place than the movies would suggest, but I doubt Kleck was trying to evoke the historical image rather than the myth.
