We can thank Jay Dickey(R) for banning research into firearms safety

[zebonaut]

Schill for NRA authored the Dickey Amendment banning federal research into gun violence.How many people are dead or maimed today because of this cretinous dumbass on the right wing?
He might be rethinking this. A little late. Y'think?

1. Wow! A real American hero -- NOT. When he was in Congress and had

some power to reverse himself, he did nothing. NRA money helped Dickey make an almost 20-yr career in the US House of Representatives. That's all he thought about -- retirement checks and continuing in the federal healthcare program. Now that he has retired, he has grown a conscious. That makes him a genuine shithead politician. "Honest" politicians take dirty money (such as from the NRA) and "stay bought" for the rest of their lives. Every time he shows his face in public, he needs to be reminded of the "Dickey amendment". The standard for reversing oneself should be giving to charity 10X what he took for pushing guns in Congress and giving up his retirement benefits for false service.

3. They had a all male committee to study women's issues, then we should

Get an anti gun group to study firearm safety.

4. Why should anyone trust this man to fix the problem that he helped

create and perpetuated....He's just trying to make a fast buck.....To trust him is like trusting Haliburton to manage Iraqi oil revenues.
