RE: The CDC also did a similar study, at the President’s behest.
The CDC? CDC?
Why them? Are guns considered a disease to be controlled now?
The point of my post is they were intellectually honest in the firearms study. They were probably under a lot of pressure to emit a study that wasn't intellectually honest, but the people I know and work around -- no matter their political affiliations -- believe in hard science and in facts, politics be damned. I don't know the people who did this study, but I was delighted to see they were of the same moral character as the ones I do know.
That's the point I was trying to make. The President had an agenda, and the CDC simply reported facts instead of following an agenda. Because of that, I remain proud to be associated with them.
