Senators Push for Federally
Funding Gun Control Research

By Beth Baumann. April 10th, 2017

While the rest of the country has focused on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch, Senate Democrats have been plotting their latest scheme: a bigger push for gun control through government "research." Earlier this week, Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) introduced Senate Bill 834, which would grant funds to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to "conduct or support research on firearms safety and gun violence prevention."

Should SB 834 pass, the CDC would be given a minimum of $10 million per year for at least six years. The funding, which would begin in 2018, would be earmarked specifically for gun research.

"Gun violence is ending lives and shattering families in Massachusetts and across our country," said Markey. "Now more than ever we must study the causes of gun violence and what can be done to prevent it. No one should be afraid of more non-partisan, scientific research into this vital issue -- not Republicans, not the NRA and not President Trump." .......

"Gun control" in yet another guise, and anyways, what should the CDC have to do with a subject such as this? The best that might be done is to concentrate on the reasons behind criminality and gang warfare, but good luck with that one - instead it would seem feasible to expect more attempts to push for (yet) more infringements on the lawful right to bear arms. A smoke and mirrors 'feelgood' bill.
