81. Don't believe the myth that the government does not study gun violence, it's simply untrue.

The funding for the CDC was originally cut because they were engaging in gun control advocacy, rather than scholarly research. The CDC issue hardly stopped actual research concerning all aspects of firearms throughout the government and private sectors.

If you want to cite government research, how about studies from National Institute of Justice, at the U.S. Department Of Justice, as recently as January 2013.

All the NIJ does is study and report on justice and related matters. They are generally nonpartisan number crunchers and academics, who if anything tend to lean liberal. I should know, I worked there prior to law school (my research was alternatives to incarceration and disparities in arrest and sentencing of minorities).

The memo does not exactly support most of the positions and proposed legislation from gun control advocates.
