Despite serious concerns about gun violence on public health, US Congress has prohibited the Centers for Disease Control CDC from conducting research that advocates in favor of gun control. The CDC has interpreted this ban to extend to all research on gun violence prevention, and so has not funded any research on this subject since 1996. When will this trend finally stop?
Congressional meetings as well as those at the White House for freewheeling discussions on how to reduce gun violence get nothing done. Therefore the new Congress must act in January before more Americans are killed.
