    HHS chief @SecAzar testified that researching gun violence is a "priority" for the agency. "We're in the science business and the evidence-generating business." It is a huge deal to finally have a GOP HHS chief saying this. I pray he follows through. http://bit.ly/2CqC6ox

        I realize @SecPriceMD set low bar, but is this really a huge deal? Shouldn’t this just be the basic expectation of the HHS secretary? I’m not optimistic WH will let science guide too much of @SecAzar’s policy b/c science will quickly bump up against @NRA and KKK priorities.

        Of course it is (or should be) a priority. But thanks to the NRA (and spinelessness of too many elected officials) Congress provides zero funding; any work to date has been privately funded. Did he demand the appropriations?

        No chance. It is a priority for GOP to *not* research gun violence. And if somehow evidence emerges that suggests gun restrictions save lives, it will be automatically dismissed by GOP as biased. Then for many on the right, that 'bias' will be evidence of a deep state conspiracy.

        Empty platitudes. Remember that the @GOP actively warred against #Pediatricians in #Florida when they wanted to educate families about #gun safety and criminalized the question: Is there a gun in the home?

        I'll take @SecAzar at his word. But if his plan is subjected to the light of day, the @NRA will see that it's either terminated or made irrelevant. At one time, @CDCgov conducted excellent research on gun violence, until...

        But the CDC was not allowed to continue with this as a public health issue. I am encouraged by this. We should study anything that kills people. Anything.

        Should be easy..we have tons of examples and real human examples of perpetrators and victims, the impact on families and communities. Whip up an abstract, pull the info together, and have a partial conclusion we are an extremely violent culture.

        The proof will be if they remove the Dickey amendment from the CDC and NIH appropriations bills. I have grave doubts.

        whilst the UK hasn't ever had the gun culture of the US, the response to Dunblane massacre in 1996 surely is a lesson the US should learn

        Unfortunately, in today’s #GOP and specifically in this WH, it will likely get him fired.
