So a "known ISIL sympathizer" can't be barred from buying a gun? Boo-hoo. Isn't it terrible that we can't more aggressively pursue thought-crimes?

Unless by study, president Obama really means, advocate for gun control....
Then maybe he would be telling the truth on this matter.

Instead we're treated to more "Bloomberg" talking points. What a shame.

There's this thing called a press release.
They get media coverage now and then.
Good to know that you believe that CDC research isn't in fact banned.

Gun control is either advantagious or not advantagious to public health. But if you're very concerned that our tax money be spent advocating for something that has proven to be niether good nor bad for public health, hurry and write your congress person. Maybe they will help overturn the ban that's not really a ban. Then the CDC can advocate for the closing of loopholes that are not really loopholes.

I will stand by my statement that there is no CDC ban on research into gun violence, and suggesting that there is, is a flat out lie.

"Do the research and keep the findings secret."

Who is keeping research studies secret? Looks to me like it's posted for all the world to see, some just don't want to see results that don't fit thier narritive.
