Its called the Dickey Amendment. It prevents the CDC from using money on research that could advocate or promote gun control.
Write or Call your congressmen to appeal the amendment. See John Oliver below.
So what could the Center for Disease Control tell us about gun ownership that we don't already know?
Not about gun ownership all but any research that could promote or advocate gun control. It is so vague that any research that has a part of a gun in it is blocked. So trying to research specific mental illness's that may be prone to gun violence and no cash from the federal government. Researching ways to protect outdoor events from gun rifling and you get no money from the federal government. Researching drug usage and gun violence no money sorry.
It would be nice to know, but the because of groups like the NRA the federal government can't fund such research.So there are suspected mental illnesses that may be prone to gun violence vs other types of violence?
How could you protect an outdoor event from long distance gun fire?
Drug use makes you more apt to use a gun for violence?
This is a huge problem that many, many congressmen on both sides of the aisle have attempted to do away with. John Oliver does a great job explaining it in the clip too. Thanks for sharing.Its called the Dickey Amendment. It prevents the CDC from using money on research that could advocate or promote gun control.

If we don't already know, how could he answer your question? You literally asked him a trick question ... come on.So what could the Center for Disease Control tell us about gun ownership that we don't already know?

Without watching the video, it sounds like good policy to prevent the CDC from political advocacy.Its called the Dickey Amendment. It prevents the CDC from using money on research that could advocate or promote gun control.

The Dickey amendment doesn't prevent the CDC from conducting research on gun violence.
It does prevent the CDC from advocating gun control. So they can do the research, they just can't use the research themselves to advocate gun control.
They could certainly provide the research to others to advocate for gun control. So why aren't they?

Mass murders happen because person(s) kill large amounts of people for unknown reason(s).

That would be worth the time and effort rather than the incessant thinking it's guns themselves that are the core problem as opposed to what mentally puts people over the edge.With a little research we could probably find out some of the reasons.
It's not political advocacy they are aiming for, but their recommendations can easily be viewed as political advocacy (as no doubt a study that doesn't paint a flattering way would be interpreted by many).Without watching the video, it sounds like good policy to prevent the CDC from political advocacy.
No thats a lie, the CDC is denied Federal funding for any research that could advocate or promote gun control. I has nothing to do with preventing them doing anything it just denies them funding.
Actually they've been much more strict in the past, such as the "Wild West" days when people did not have the guns Hollywood and pop-culture authors lead us to believe, it was illegal to carry them in many places, and ill advised to carry them in many legal cities (viewed as an indication you are looking/asking for trouble).Gun laws were always the same, or even more lax in the past.
