They cite it within the « big picture » lifespan in the US, as an introduction. They also cite gun death in that picture.
Health and lifespan are very probably very correlated in their readers interests.
- jfengel 2y agoThe CDC considers gun deaths a health problem. They have a National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. They'd like to study it, but have been specifically prevented from doing so (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment). That has expired but they are rarely allocated money to study gun violence.
- aziaziazi 2y agoVery interesting read. It seems ok to study it but the results shouldn’t induce gun control advocacy. That’s crazy !! A dictator wouldn’t do better than that congress. > In a 2012 op-ed, Dickey and Rosenberg argued that the CDC should be able to research gun violence. Dickey has said that he regrets his role in stopping the CDC from researching gun violence, saying he simply didn't want to "let any of those dollars go to gun control advocacy."
