Republicans will be using the omnibus bill to clarify that the Centers for Control and Prevention (CDC) can perform gun violence research.
The Democrats wanted a full repeal of the Dickey Amendment, and Republicans demurred but met them halfway by agreeing to make it clear that the CDC is not barred from doing the research.
The Dickey Amendment, named after the late Rep. Jay Dickey (R-AR), was put into a funding bill in 1996 and has been renewed every year since. It says, None of the funds made available in this title may be used, in whole or in part, to advocate or promote gun control.

Want gun violence research? Gang bangers and thugs with guns are a bad thing. Good guys with guns are good. End of study and I did it for free.
Nah. Bullet sizes, amount of “powder” used, velocities, aim points/red dot scopes.
Fewer Caucasian folks killed due to white privilege? Who will demand equal killing?
Why not make a statement that no permits are required under the 2nd amendment so you may carry as you see fit.
“As expected, the ones in charge capitulated and compromised with the evil alt left radical extermist anti-constitutional dems.”
The die was cast in 2010 when the Tea Party movement arose organically in the Republican voter base and resulted in the GOP capturing control of Congress. Instead of embracing the Tea Party, the GOP establishment joined the Democrats in resisting the Tea Park. Remarkably in the 2012 presidential election, the establishment nominee Mitt Romney publicly distanced himself from the Tea Party as did House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority leader McConnell. The GOP leadership, and the majority of the GOP Senate (if not the House) are big government socialist globalists. They, like the progressive elitists, look down on average Americans and have much more in common with each other than the average GOP voter. They run for office as conservatives but behave as self serving progressive elitists. They are complicit with Barack Obama’s goal of fundamentally transforming America. They are also fully allied with the Democrats and the bureaucracy in bringing down President Trump.
Prediction - one of three things will happen:
1) Trump will resign before the midterms
2) Trump survives through the midterms, the GOP loses the House and Senate, Trump is impeached and removed in 2019 with GOP votes.
3) The GOP retains one or both houses of Congress in the midterms. After the election McConnell and Ryan use a hyped up event to join the Democrats in endorsing impeachment. Enough Republicans join Democrats to form a majority to impeach in the House. It is clear there are enough Republicans to join with Democrats in the Senate to achieve a 2/3 vote to convict and Trump is pressured by the GOP leadership and the media to resign (like Nixon). Trump choses to go down fighting and is the first president to be removed from office. Pence becomes president and turns the DOJ and IRS on Trump and his businesses. He spends the rest of his life fighting the government, losing his fortune in the process. Democrats win the House, Senate, and president in the 2020 elections, led by an extreme radical such as Kamala Harris. By 2024, the US is effectively a one party state.
Thanks for cheering me up. LOL!
Gun violence is down, down, down. Any honest research must start with that fact.
I have a different take ...
Trump survives through the midterms, the GOP loses the House and Senate, and Trump announces he'll be running for re-election in 2020 as a Democrat -- with Kamala Harris as his running mate.
You heard it here first.
So sick o this ch!t.
Gotta add firearms owned by the public has grown(bigly) and so has the population (legal and illegal) yet gun violence is down, down, down.
Yeah, it’s like dealing with surrender monkeys huh.
“Gun Violence Research” ?? THAT'S likely to be JUST as scientific and honestly carried out as the climate change ‘research’
However, on the positive side... Career students and other college types can obtain MILLIONS in gov’t grants for their ‘research’ (Sarcasm)
Just what the US needs... Liberals creating another BS ‘industry’ funded by taxpayer revenue, manufacturing groundless facts, spewing unfounded and unproved data, going NOWHERE and siphoning taxpayer revenue like crazy!!!!
Let's see-we have the ‘civil rights’ industry; the ‘climate change’ industry.... now the ‘gun ban’ industry...Oi veh!
The Deep State still has this administration and the President by the ying-yang...POTUS has precious little backing from Mitch McConnell or Paul Ryan...they should be solidly for de-funding Planned Parenthood, funding The Wall, cleaning up government WASTE...above all standing with their President....McConnell and Ryan by their lily-livered stance have failed.
Call your Reps. and Senators 1. to read the Bill first and to de-fund Planned Parenthood and build The Wall.
There is no such thing as gun violence
vi·o·lence
noun
behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something
A gun is an inanimate object not capable of independent behavior.
The behavior required to be violent requires a human being.

That is so depressing.
