"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 noticed the same thing. I would also like to see the source.
Anybody?
I am not sure, but maybe this is Stossel's reference?
Possibly this:

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...
"But I have not seen anything like this from the CDC... I wonder what his source is."
Wrong group, right conclusions
It was teh national Academies of Science:

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.
