The Dickey Amendment is a straw man used by anti-gun nuts to argue that there can't be any evidence and therefore we need to implement gun control laws without it. But I can cite a 2016 meta-analysis which includes 130 different studies, and those are just a fraction of the ones

that are available. The real problem is that the methodologies are trash in a lot of cases. We don't go around implementing wide-scale use of an intervention based on poor quality scientific studies.

What about the hundreds of studies that are already available? Show me that the Dickey Amendment is even making it significantly more difficult for research to be done. One institution out of hundreds, if not thousands, happens to be prohibited from using govt funds for the topic

Let's face it. There's only one good reason to suppress scientific research. It's because you strongly think that you know what the answer will be, and you don't want it to be found.
