Recommend them to pay Andy a extremely large stiffen with all expenses paid for travel, product research including ammo To do a honest evaluation on his own schedule
"This is going to unlock a vein of pure gold that people on both sides of the aisle will appreciate"... because they can use it to drain the blood out of the 2nd amendment until it withers and dies.
In truth, nothing has ever stopped the CDC from asking for specific funding to research "gun violence" if it pleased. Nothing has stopped the CDC from allocating its own funds for a study on gun violence.
The real problem for anti-gun activists hasn't been a dearth of data, but the inability to use CDC as a political cudgel in the Second Amendment debate.
Here's a nice reminder from a recent article:
Reminder: There Has Never Been a Ban on Studying Gun Violence | National Review

It is not research when one only looks for answers and data that support one's pre-existing conclusion.
I am not saying that this is indeed the case here...but the track record of the folks doing the research , has me leery of the outcome.

And just where will this "research" end up? Every cooking magazine, check out counter tabloid, "serious news propaganda network" and other places real data isn't found.
As I understand it the Dickey amendment is still in place so they won't be able to advocate for gun control with their findings.
Maybe they should get MS-13 to change over to Axes and go Axe murder some people to get Axes on the same schedule?
I second this. It was the Obama CDC that determined that there was some unknown number of crimes not committed due to a firearm being present or used...and that number was HIGH.Are we all forgetting the time the Obama admin had the CDC do a study into the "causes of gun violence" and it determined that gun control had no significant impact on gun violence? (obviously I am paraphrasing the study)

If a SCIENTIST is doing the work, they're going to create a falsifiable hypothesis, create an experiment, and then...and here's the kicker...see where the evidence leads.
I realize that there are more than a few political hacks, and some of those political hacks happen to be scientists. But, if we've gotten to a point where the majority of scientists working on any team are willing to throw the scientific method out-the-window in order to create junk...then we're simply sitting on a time-bomb. Many, many things will go to hell...not just gun rights...if this is the case.
I've got some faith that this isn't the case.
