"The Centers for Disease Control did an extensive review of various types of gun control: waiting periods, registration and licensing, and bans on certain firearms. It found that the idea that gun control laws have reduced violent crime is simply a myth."

I am against gun control for law abiding adults.

But I have not seen anything like this from the CDC... I wonder what his source is.

I am not sure, but maybe this is Stossel's reference?

I don't have source material at my fingertips right now, but I remember reading that CDC concluded that the Brady Bill has reduced suicides in men over 55; I'm not joking about this...

Liberals believe that outlawing guns will eliminate guns. There also believe that if abortion is made illegal abortion will still exist in a black market. Why is this?

They (or some equivalent group; I don't have the report handy) did exactly that kind of study, reporting in hundreds of pages of detail. The results were clear. They didn't like the results, so they said they needed to study it more.
