Would Put Taxpayers Behind 'Gun Control' Advocacy

U.S. Rep. Valerie Foushee (D-N.C.) introduced legislation that would put the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in charge of creating a publicly accessible federal database of "gun violence prevention" research.

The Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026, listed as H.R. 9274, would direct CDC to build and maintain an online database of research related to "gun violence" and public safety.
