      But I'm sure when it comes time to enact any policy to address structural violence and inequality in communities of color we'll hear the same Lott who denies race is a factor in police shootings of civilians. He is not an honest actor here.https://townhall.com/columnists/johnrlottjr/2018/08/27/police-shootings-n2513363 …

      I'm also pretty sure he's not for total drug legalization either. It's a completely dishonest argument from a dishonest man. I hope someone asks him if we should then legalize heroin?

      Representative Clark asks a fantastic question of Lott, "I can't think of any other public health crisis in which you ask for no federal spending, can you?"

      They bring up the comparison to cars, also inanimate objects. Cars kill fewer than guns now, despite more cars on the road because of safety. Lott is losing his mind and tries to interrupt the representative. She doesn't give him time. She rocks!

      Data thanks to Garen Wintemute - a hero of gun violence research.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/17/guns-are-now-killing-as-many-people-as-cars-in-the-u-s/?utm_term=.e2ab04bbc33a …

      This is what we should be able to do with another inanimate object, through smart policy, and without banning the object. We didn't achieve this by banning cars. Representative Bustos then mentions there is a current active shooter in her district.pic.twitter.com/cwhuvv2TjJ

      In closing comments they keep saying we can keep the Dickey amendment as a "guardrail" yet it acts as a ban. No one wants to risk the funding of their entire institution over subjective criteria that your research appears to support gun control. Dickey himself regretted it.

      It's not a guardrail, it's a cage, for 25 years it has acted as a cage. It won't stop acting like a cage because they rename it a guardrail.

      The ranking member again brings up Mexico as an example of gun control not working. Mexico's gun problem is trafficking from the US. It turns out, your neighbors bad policy affects you, both across international borders and across state borders. That's what trafficking is.

      "But Chicago!" Yes, where the guns come from Indiana and Wisconsin. Let's talk about that. :/ #stopmakingmurderandsuicideeasy
