To a degree, but the decisions of the past are impacting the present. If the situation could have been avoided, we would see the US homicide rate drop from the mid to high 4 /100k to 2 /100k or less which is around where Canada is. Thats the elephant in the room.

Why would they pass a bill to look in to it at all? Passing bills are for passing laws not initiatives or studies.

The NRA has consistently blocked funding of research into gun related deaths.

Your right. Even tabloids tell the truth occasionally unlike CNN. I guess CNN is useful for information if you know how to process it. Just take everything they say and assume the oppisite is true.

CNN is far more reliable then Fox News. Fox News has much more of a history at posting fake news. Of course it's Mango's Propaganda Channel!

Does the NRA also prevent the CDC from tabulating all the other millions of deaths in the USA?  Or just the gun-related ones.

 

An on that line of thinking, HOW does the NRA prevent the CDC from tracking things?  Do they have a certain number of secret agents within the CDC that steer the way for them?

Federal limits on both research into gun violence and the release of data about guns used in crimes are powerful reminders of the lobbying group's advantages over gun control activists. For decades, the NRA pushed legislation that stifled the study and spread of information about the causes of gun violence.

Last month, Congress passed a spending bill that included language giving the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the authority to resume gun-related studies, but some researchers are skeptical anything will change without funding. The Democrats wrote that part of the bill in order to reverse the Dickey Amendment of 1996, which many believe virtually halted all research on gun violence.

The legislation didn't explicitly ban gun research, but funding cuts reduced it by 90 percent, according to Dr. Mark Rosenberg, the former director of the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The NRA was motivated to support the amendment after a landmark 1993 study that concluded that having a gun in the home was more dangerous than not having one.

CNN is about 1-3% truthful (a broken clock is right twice a day) and Fox news is about 30-40% truthful. The rest is tabloid nonsense on both networks. Fox does have an edge on CNN in the truth department but neither are reliable. If I had to list all the mainstream networks in order from least to most truthful CNN would be first on the list and Fox would be last with all the other networks somewhere in between.  At the end of the day that is irrelevant because they are all liars most of the time.

A conspiracy run by a shadow government called the NRA. Time to break out the tin foil hats and watch out for the black helicopters.

Quote

The amendment, which was first tucked into an appropriations bill signed into law by President Bill Clinton, stipulates that "none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control." A similar provision was includedin the Appropriations Act of 2012.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I did not know it existed.  But in reality, I think it is a poor interpretation.  The restriction is from promoting gun control, not from studying gun violence.

So gun deaths are at a new high apparently. But a little digging reveals why.

Suicide rates have really been spiking. A little more digging reveals why.

The opioid epidemic has spiked suicides which in term has increased gun suicides.

 

Would be nice if CNN had done their due diligence and dug a bit deeper rather than publish propaganda.

 

 

That is why they have been called Fake News, Which is pretty funny in itself.

Don't you know that according to @JimandChristy the NRA controls the Mango Mussolini, so he and his supported is forcing the CDC from looking to gun violence.

Since you mentioned the opioid crisis, I thought this was relevant.

All these baseless MDL liberal talking points. What makes it an extra special kind of almost magical variant of TDS...they are making the assertation in a thread, in which the OP posted a study on gun violance by the same CDC they claim does not do such studies, becuse of the NRA 

 

Now that's Forrest Gump special right there, boy I tell you what

if you remove the deaths from illegal guns in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, New York and Los Angeles (all staunch bastions of the GOP) what does that do to our death rate by guns?
