Third, Jay Dickey, Arkansas Congressman, sponsored budget prohibitions in 1996, result of NRA lobbying: CDC cannot advocate or promote gun control. Despite mass shootings, CDC has not performed any such studies since 1996. 7/13
Most of the research into deaths from guns has been conducted by economists, sociologists, or criminologists. See “Firearms Research”, Scientific American, updated from 496 Nature 412-415 (2013). 8/13
With nearly 40K deaths/year, we should expect health-related studies. In 2017 approximately sixty percent (60%) of gun deaths were suicides (23,854). Any such studies have been blocked, effectively, by the NRA. 9/13
Fourth: stifling of facts goes further. Tiahrt Amendments ban “trace data” collected by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATFE) being released for use by cities, states, researchers, litigants & members of public. 10/13
Nobody, in other words, can use those stats. To trace availability of guns, from burglaries and thefts of those guns, to subsequent gun deaths, could help to prevent gun deaths. Of course, that might lean to closing gun purchase loopholes. 11/13

I’m pretty sure the GOP has turned the suffix -ist into a dog whistle meaning attack.
