A Democratic-sponsored Senate measure would create a taxpayer-funded think tank at Rutgers University to research the causes, prevention, and reduction of gun-related violence.
The proposal, S.2380, to address what its sponsors feel is a crucial shortfall in sophisticated research on the topic, is set to be heard in the Senate Higher Education Committee on Thursday.
“Too little is known about firearm violence and prevention, and not enough research has been done,” notes the bill, sponsored by state Sen. Fred Madden, D-Camden/Gloucester.
The measure’s language cites that there are 300-400 homicides per year in the Garden State and guns are used in two out of three of those as well as in a sizable portion of suicides. Backers argue funding for gun violence research through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has, since 1996, been “virtually eliminated” leading to a “gap that must be filled by other sources.”

WELL ALRIGHT NOW!! FREE REPUBLIC IS BACK!!!
Throwing more taxpayer dollars down the toilet. We already have shrinks to study why people murder other people. We don’t need a phonyass “research center”. Just more arrogant government bureaucrats sticking their big noses into other people’s business.
I can save them a ton of money. Confiscate all the illegal guns from the bros, amigos, and druggies and problem is solved.
Yo, Rutgers! I can tell you the answer to gun violence.
Two words.
I’m a nice guy. Take care of FR’ s Feepathon this quarter and I will give you those two words.

Along with EBT, welfare, SNAP, section 8, and quotas.
No need. Lock up and throw away the key anyone who uses a gun to comit a crime. (Not the current crime of owning a firearm as the unconstitutional laws of NJ, state...) but armed robbery......murder both spontaneous and premeditated where self defense is NOT an issue. Using a gun to rob, rape, and murder....tag on another 50 years or more. There will be a sharp reduction of such gun crimes. Make sure that breaking state and Federal firearms laws are prosecuted and prosecuted separately so that prison terms have to be served separately for those crimes.
If you make it illegal for DemocRats to possess guns, the gun-related violent crime rate would go down by 90%.
The 2nd Amendment’s original intent has been so misinterpreted and watered down by these liberal lawmakers/judges that only an American Revolution 2.0 will restore them.
That's easy. The cause: thugs who should have been imprisoned for life, executed by the state, or shot dead like mad dogs by decent citizens. Prevention is just as easy: encourage firearm ownership and reward self-defense by those thugs want to prey on. Reduction would be quick and natural: once the predator population dropped and those remaining thugs capable of learning recognized that crime only offers a very short future when real Americans are free, few will date to commit violent crimes.
I wish Trump would create a mandatory school firearms safety course.
Where you have as much right to ‘opt out’ as you do from common core or the muzzie indoctrination.
How about an equal amount of TAX PAYER FUNDING be sent to the NRA to study and counter the lies of liberals?
Well, judging by Crime Statistics, the easiest and quickest remedy is to disarm Blacks (Crips and Bloods) and Illegal Invaders (MS13).
They can get back to me once they get that Accomplished.
The Eisenhower approach, when a problem is "too big,” is to make it bigger. If the problem of gun violence is too big, maybe you should be tackling the problem of violence in general.The problem of "violence in general" would, however, open up consideration of the possibility that legal gun possession might be a solution. As much or more than it is a problem.
Add in no parole and no plea bargaining.
Easy peasy.
