More than a decade after Congress cut funding for firearms research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), another federal health agency has been spending millions of dollars to study such topics as whether teenagers who carry firearms run a different risk of getting shot compared with suffering other sorts of injuries. [More]Gee, and the previous funding cut-off was not a well-justified political response to this?
And Dr. Mark Rosenberg, Director of the CDC's National Center for Injury Control and Prevention (NCIPC) in 1994 told The Washington Post: "We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes. Now it [sic] is dirty, deadly, and banned."So once we repel the vampire, we should invite him back in?
We know what's going to happen--they're going to lump criminal gangbangers in with the good kids and make it seem like a toxic environment for all. The corrupt and miserable results of neoMarxist policies will not only escape analysis, the solution we'll see proposed will be to expand them. And, of course, disarm you and me.
