I think that this might enable them to do some meaningful research into gun violence. Meaningful research that does not exist in the US in 2024 because the NRA lobbies against anyone that attempts to publish data on the subject.
There's a long list of public entities that are prohibited from publishing this research. Really strange in a country where guns are so available.
Congress stopped research for 25 years. They knew what the results would show and that is gonna make the conversation much more difficult.
No they did not. Tons of research has come out during that time. They put a stop to funding research that held a bias. Which at the time was from the CDC wanting to make shit up to push an anti2a agenda. The head of the CDC stated during that time that they wanted to use research to prove guns are a public health crisis, no matter how the came to that conclusion. They had a ton of really flawed studies as well that were proven to be terrible studies with a major bias. In science you can't just make studies say what you want without being criticized, and that's what they did. It's why the dickey amendment was passed with bipartisan support in 96.
Edit: you can downvote me all you want, this is exactly what happened. This isn't some fake news shit from the repubs, it's actual history. It's not my fault you've been fed a lie that the cdc was bared from studying gun violence.
We were just entering the distopian gun fetish hell hole in 96. 2001 pushed us over the edge. Every chaw head feared terrorists and then faux news yelled them into being anxious over their neighbors and urban centers. Science has time and time again shown that faciests are bad and giving them guns is bad for everyone.
The fuck are you talking about? Nothing you just rambled off makes any damn sense.
Conservatives are really putting out fires.
