Harvard Law study supporting gun rights

I found an article that linked to a 2007 Harvard Law study that refutes a lot of the talking points the gun control advocates try to spew.

Its 46 pages long so for those that don't want to read the whole thing, here is a snippet of the conclusion.
Nevertheless, the burden of proof rests on the proponents of the more guns equal more death and fewer guns equal less death mantra, especially since they argue public policy ought to be based on that mantra. To bear that burden would at the very least require showing that a large number of nations with more guns have more death and that nations that have imposed stringent gun controls have achieved substantial reductions in criminal violence (or suicide). But those correlations are not observed when a large number of nations are compared across the world.
