Who banned the CDC from undertaking research on gun violence?

[malaise]

Who is refusing to reconvene the Senate to pass the bipartisan House bill on background checks?

Who has A ratings from the NRA?

Who has been pushing a racist agenda long before he stole the WH?

Dems need to destroy these murdering MFing ReTHUG enablers once and for all

I hope Dems have a press conference after the COn speaks this morning

1. It first happened in 1996, when the NRA cowed Congress into thinking the CDC...

was talking gun control.

After Sandy hook, Obama used an executive order to get the CDC to start studying it again, but funding was always killed.

An article from 2015, but relevant today:

2. That ban said everything we needed to know

Remember now these are the same people who claim to be pro-life
Good link - thanks

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Because RepubliCONs know they won't be able to use the "video games" con if it is studied. . . . nt

[malaise]

4. Precisely

but people who ban research on gun violence do not care about life.
Dems need ads to hammer home these issues

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Same reasoning RepubliCONs run "Chinese Hoax" con; their own grandchildren's lives don't matter. .nt

5. My lane

This has been my point in the debate for years. It sometimes stops idiot gun nuts and make them think for once.

Why can’t the United States even research the problem?

That question separates the innocent from the knuckle-draggers.

8. Car manufacturers and aircraft manufacturers face more scrutiny

How does a so called developed country not research gun violence. It is absolute madness

[pangaia]

14. because we were meant to have guns.. we're americans, after all

6. Don't you think that if they could 'destroy' Mitch and the GOP, they would have?

[malaise]

7. Personally I think Dems have played way

too nice for way too long. It is time to take off the gloves

[ehrnst]

9. OK. What do you think they should have done differently?

I'm really interested to know. I may have missed something.

[pangaia]

15. no

[ehrnst]

16. Why do you think that they would refuse to if they could?

Also, what is it that they refused to do would have 'destroyed' Mitch and the GOP?

[pangaia]

17. LOL !

I'm not playing..

[ehrnst]

19. So you can't provide any actual examples. Just a scapegoat.

LOL

25. No one's ever been shot to death

by a video game. But once emotions are desensitized and empathy is gone, they make it easier to pull the trigger on a gun - if one is available

[bronxiteforever]

26. Kick and recommend. Brilliant!
