Does the NHTSA do research on motor vehicle use in the commission of crimes? Will research on gun violence lead to advancements in the technology of body armor? Will there be new ad campaigns telling people not to drink while shooting?

Let's not pretend that the recommendations of all this "research" will be anything but calls for more gun control laws, OK?
