To think "It's not a gun problem, it's a bad people problem" means to think that statistically the US has the worst people in the entire world. Apparently the country is a cestpool filled with (mostly white!) mass murderers. And some, I assume, are good people.

Your country, not mine. You guys can set your priorities as you want. But I think it would be wise not to ignore the obvious connection between gun legislation and gun deaths. Look at the data, then decide if it's worth it. 2/3
But don't be afraid to look at the data! I mean foolish stuff like preventing the CDC from researching gun violance. If you feel like you have to "protect yourself" from scientific data then you are probably trying to defend a very weak position. 3/3

The CDC Task Force already reported. They, "found insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws reviewed for preventing violence" https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5214a2.htm …

"Note that insufficient evidence to determine effectiveness should not be interpreted as evidence of ineffectiveness." But putting that aside, if guns don't play a role, that would then suggest that Americans are somehow more violent than other people. Aren't you guys human too?
