First off, legalizing CDC research into gun violence seems like a reasonable step
- Veelox 9y agoI think that would be a great first step. For it to be acceptable it will need to be very careful to ensure the privacy of gun owners.
- matte_black 9y agoWhile I’m all for unbiased, scientific research on gun violence, I have little confidence that it won’t just become the liberal’s version of climate change denial.
- ac29 9y agoThe CDC was never explicitly banned from researching gun violence, though the Dickey Amendment "outlawed spending tax dollars on gun control advocacy", which made it difficult to determine what sorts of research might be allowed. This was recently clarified to explicitly allow gun violence research, though that still isn't funded. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/03/22/house-budget-says-cdc-can-study-gun-violence/?utm_term=.d44ad3a60f65 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/0...
