Congress refuses to pass gun control legislation because “not enough research” has been conducted, yet they are the ones blocking the research! This is just another excuse to avoid passing the necessary laws that would protect the American people. Until the Dickey Amendment is repealed, congress will continue to do nothing as innocent Americans die from gun violence.
Allowing the CDC to study something that kills nearly 100 American every day is so common sense, it's hard to believe it isn't already happening. In the U.S. last year alone, there were 372 mass shootings, killing 475 people, and wounding 1,870. The death toll is staggering, and unless the Dickey Amendment is repealed, the numbers will only grow.
