The Smartest Way to Address Gun Violence? Research

8. The Controllers simply don't like what solid research has turned up thus far.

Among the many brazen lies The Controllers push is that there is a deficiency in research w/regard to gun violence. Hogshit! They simply don't like what solid research has turned up thus far, and want to re-research in order to arrive at conclusions more charitable to their "cause". Even given the fact that the latest CDC statements have admitted to high numbers of defensive gun uses, and other things that support the RKBA position, I still don't trust them any further than I can punt a rhino.

I recall scoping out a web page which listed items that the CDC listed as aspects of gun violence which screamed for more research. I wish that I had saved the page......as I haven't been able to relocate it. The remarkable thing about the items listed is that they were areas well researched by James Wright, Peter Rossi, Gary Kleck and others. Most notably, many of the "questions" they ticked off have been adequately addressed by Wright and Rossi with their groundbreaking prison survey.

So ENOUGH with this garbage that there is inadequate research into gun violence. The only people who make this claim at this point in the game are the ignorant and the mendacious.
