You may not like their findings, or agree with their politics, but they are spot on.
There is no "pretending" in that piece.
It's a low ranked journal, but that is not the problem. The authors have drawn a conclusion based on their own convictions and try to cherry pick evidence. Personally I'm not opposed to gun ownership but I am against shoddy craftsmanship in academic writing, that paper should not have passed peer review.

Some respected sources on the topic:
