13. The NRA has done a very effective job of stopping researchers
by cutting off funding. Have $2.6M for me? I'll give you (another) great, objective gun study.

Of course that's the best the CDC could come up with - they're legally prevented from coming up with anything that "may be used to advocate or promote gun control".

A wonderful environment for science. :eyes:
