[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people don't even know US fatal gun accidents involving kids are way down[/quote]

Could Americans' lack of knowledge on this subject be related to the fact that Congress hasn't allowed the CDC to fund gun violence since 1996?

Nonsense. the FBI, National Institutes of Health, National academies of Science and in fact the CDC spend millions and millions. Mike Bloomberg gun ban lobby spends tens and tens of millions now funding the pro gun control researchers the CDC got caught wrongly funding.

The CDC made a huge mess They were giving millions and millions to third party "researchers" who were actively lobbying and working directly with gun ban lobby groups and promulgating junk science.  
look a the specious claim gun owning homes are more dangerous. in fact gun owning homes of non criminals are about 20% safer from criminal violence than homes with no guns. CDC paid for four studies, not one of which bothered to parse people selling meth, dealing other drugs and thus targets for robbery, gang members etc who were "gun owners" and where 99% of the shootings were occurring, with normal law abiding gun owners. If you look at the millions of dollars worth of junk research from the 1990's before their paying of lobbies working with gun ban groups was ended, virtually all that CDC bought third party science predicted gun murder would rise -- when it fell 64% int he past 25 years.

DC has hundred of murders, gun crimes etc and not one of them from the thousands of legal gun owners.  The CDC never paid for a single third party study (the thing that is banned now) that ven bothered to control for the variable that is the well documented risk factor (and it is not guns but criminals in your home).

why do you think 90% of those of US in law enforcement do not support more gun laws/bans promoted by types such as Bloomberg's fronts? We see what is really going on every day. A small groups of people, "super predators" with very long arrest recrods is committing almost all of the knife, beating, gun assaults and murders. IN a city like DC or Baltimore eight out of ten murderers have more than ten arrests.
