What Obama called for the CDC to do was to look into what needs to be researched. They did, and summarized prior research, including the pro-gun crap put out by gun industry stooges. Of the long list of research compiled in that report that the CDC recommended be done, NONE of it was done. Why? Because the GOP continues to BAN FUNDING for such research.
