Democrats this week introduced bicameral bills to Congress that aim to give the Centers for Disease Control big bucks to support research into guns. 

The Gun Violence Prevention Research Act of 2021 would appropriate $50 million to the CDC each fiscal year from 2022 through 2027, "for the purpose of conducting or supporting research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention." The legislation was introduced jointly by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., who were not coy about what laws the research would be used as justification to enact. 

"We know of the commonsense solutions like the need for better and more robust background checks and the need to renew the assault weapons ban, but we must also seek other solutions,” said Maloney in a statement. "And we do that by studying gun violence like the public health crisis it is."

  1. Not so much for research. Just more looting the treasury to make their freinds very rich. The CDC will of course let a contract to several anti-gun groups like Brady and a few universities sociology departments. That money will go to higher payrolls and bonuses and in the end, the agencies will dust off something they wrote during the Clinton administration and put a fresh cover sheet on it. It's how the Democrats roll. When the DoJ has your back, money laundering and looting are trivial.

  2. 97% of scientists agree with the people funding their research.

    Can we guess what the CDC will conclude?

  3. What the heck does CDC have to do with gun research? Disease control
    and they don't do a very good job at that unless owning a bunch of
    vaccine patents counts for something, like money.
    They need to stick to their own type of specialty.

    2. Not real research. Just funneling the money to their freinds. It doesnt matter what the name is on the agency. As long as they have a budget.
