		Arthur L. Kellermann, M.D., M.P.H. (born 1955) is a professor and chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Emory University.
		Kellermann states that as an emergency room doctor, he noted that the number of gunowners injured by their own gun or that of a family member seemed to greatly outnumber the number of intruders shot by the gun of a homeowner, and therefore he determined to study whether or not this was in fact true.
		Kellermann continues to be a lightning rod for those opposed to gun control, with large numbers of websites and Usenet postings repeating the attacks (both correct and incorrect) on his research, continuing to claim that he is still "hiding" his data, accusing him of fraud, and claiming that the study has been "debunked".

	Kellermann-Gun Ownership as a Risk Factor for Homicide in the Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Kellermann and colleagues conducted a case-control study (see also this brief tutorial) claiming a gun in the home makes it 2.7 times more likely that a family member will become a homicide victim in the home.
		Kellermann's first response to the students was incorrect: "Ninety-three percent of the homicides involving firearms occurred in homes where a gun was kept, according to the proxy respondents." In a follow-up letter (four years later) Kellermann acknowledges his error, but still fails to directly answer the question.
		Kellermann writes in this previously quoted letter in the New England Journal of Medicine that he had expected his research to be corroborated by subsequent case-control studies and cites a study by Cummings and colleagues ("The association between the purchase of a handgun and homicide or suicide." 1997.

		Arthur L. Kellermann, M.D., is a professor of Emergency Medicine at Emory University.
		Gun control advocates state that the 1986 Kellermann study proves their point, that owning a gun is an unaceptable threat to yourself, your family, your freinds and to society in general.
		In Kellermann's 1986 study the "risk/benefit" ratio he calculated for owning a gun was 43:1, however, in the later study cited below that ratio had dropped to 2.7:1.

		Kellermann's study didn't document whether a firearm used in a particular homicide was the same one kept in the home, or whether it might have been carried in by the murderer.
		And Kellermann still doesn't ask the questions he, himself, said would be necessary for "a complete determination of firearms risks versus benefits": "cases in which burglars or intruders are wounded or frightened away by the use or display of a firearm...
		Even if we were to accept Dr. Kellermann's reverse implication that a home-dweller who lives with a loaded handgun suffers a three-fold increased risk of homicide from a family member or intimate acquaintance, the handgun's usefulness in warding off potentially lethal confrontations against burglars is enormous.

	Public Health and Gun Control: A Review. Part I: The Benefits of Firearms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since at least the mid-1980s, Dr. Kellermann (and associates), whose work had been heavily-funded by the CDC, published a series of studies purporting to show that persons who keep guns in the home are more likely to be victims of homicide than those who dont.
		While Kellermann and associates began with 444 cases of homicides in the home, cases were dropped from the study for a variety of reasons, and in the end, only 316 matched pairs were used in the final analysis, representing only 71.2 percent of the original 444 homicide cases.
		Consider the fact that Kellermann and associates pilot study had a higher percent false denial rate than the 20.1 percent required to invalidate their own study, and yet, he and his associates concluded that there was no "underreporting of gun ownership by their control respondents," and their estimates, they claim were, therefore, considered not biased.4

	A gun in the home increases personal safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Kellermann's work has been branded "junk science," "unpublishable," "biased," "seriously flawed," "fraudulent" and "grand malpractice." The NRA also criticized the Centers for Disease Control for continuing to fund such anti-gun research, and the Republican Congress pressured the CDC to shut it down completely.
		Kellermann found that 3.6 percent of the domestic homicides were strangers and 17.4 percent were never identified.
		Kellermann's research also confirms numerous studies like the one done by Linda Saltzman, which found that assaults by family members or intimate acquaintances are far more fatal when the weapon is a gun.

		What Kellermann did was compare people in the areas of Memphis, Seattle, and Cleveland who had been murdered in their homes with people living nearby who had not been murdered.
		Kellermann's answer to this very serious methodological problem is to cite his own research, which ostensibly shows that registered gun owners usually tell the truth when they decide to cooperate with pollsters who ask them if they own guns.
		Unfortunately, Kellermann and the "guns-as-viruses" crowd are expertly adept at producing factoids which the anti-gun media eagerly then disseminate as "scientific" proof of the perils of gun ownership.

	Disarming the Data Doctors: How to Debunk the 'Public Health' Basis for 'Gun Control'
		In this Kellermann study, there is a statistical association between the presence of a firearm in the victim's home and the victims death by homicide in that home.
		The Kellermann study assumes that the presence of a firearm in the victim's home constitutes "exposure." In other words, being in the physical vicinity of a firearm is the equivalent of being near a person with small pox or influenza.
		Kellermann's conclusion seems to be a perfect example of a hasty generalization from a very small non-random study.

		In 1993, in his landmark and much cited NEJM article (and the research, again, heavily funded by the CDC), Dr. Kellermann attempted to show again that guns in the home are a greater risk to the victims than to the assailants.

	Medical Research on RKBA
		"Kellermann's article pretends to be a study of 'Home Invasion Crimes,' but a majority (51%) of his cases were burglaries, crimes of stealth in which confrontation is avoided by the criminal (except in unarmed countries such as in Europe where, absent the general deterrent effect of widespread gun ownership, confrontations are triple the US rates[1]).
		Kellermann's cases excluded multi-family dwellings, the type of housing in which most of Atlanta's population resides.
		Not one of Kellermann's gun defenders was injured.

	In The Issue
		Kellermann compared murder victims in several cities with sociologically similar people a few blocks away in those cities, who had not been murdered.
		First of all, Kellermann’s own data show that owning a security system, or renting a home rather than owning it, are also associated with equally large increased risks of death.
		As Yale law professor John Lott points out, Kellermann’s methodology is like comparing 100 people who went to a hospital in a given year with 100 similar people who did not, finding that more of the hospital patients died, and then announcing that hospitals increase the risk of death.

		With Baudin's right flank open, all seems ready for a devastating counterattack by the 5th division, but before that happens, Kellermann launches an attack (can't be a charge because he has to cross a bridge) on the British left wing.
		Kellermann cannot charge Kempt but simply assaults him instead and the result is that Kempt's brigade, with no good retreat route, tries to stand, fails its morale check, and is routed.
		Kellermann now chooses to pursue and attacks Halkett's brigade, which also (more bad luck) does not form square in time and is likewise eliminated.

	Gun politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Kellermann's papers themselves do not make any recommendations, they were immediately held up as support by the advocates of gun control, and decried as bad science by opponents of gun control.
		Even Kellermann himself includes in his paper several paragraphs referring to the need for further study of domestic violence and its causes and prevention.
		In the final measure, perhaps the most useful contribution of the Kellermann studies is to quantify the degree of risk for domestic homicide associated with gun ownership, in the context of the degree of risk posed by some of the other variables he included.

		Kellermann says he's uncomfortable with the fact that "the media tend to portray us as Zippy and his evil twin or vice versa," but there are good reasons why their work is linked.

	FABLE I: A gun in the home makes the home less safe. (www.NRA.org) \| Progressive U
		Kellermann studied only homes where homicides had taken place--ignoring the millions of homes with firearms where no harm is done--and used a control group unrepresentative of American households.
		Kleck noted that Kellermann's methodology is analogous to proving that since diabetics are much more likely to possess insulin than non-diabetics, possession of insulin is a risk factor for diabetes.
		Even Dr. Kellermann admitted, "It is possible that reverse causation accounted for some of the association we observed between gun ownership and homicide." Northwestern University Law Professor Daniel D. Polsby went further, writing, "Indeed the point is stronger than that: 'reverse causation' may account for most of the association between gun ownership and homicide.
