Are these people being paid off?
Jepsen is a vile human being.
I have several evidence-based strategies:
1. Killers who are executed for their crimes have a recidivism rate of zero. Permanently removing these predators from the population is proven to leave the community safer.
2. Life without parole is not quite as sure a solution as the death penalty, and those predators from time to time escape and kill again, but that remains the second best option for keeping communities safe from violent thugs.
3. While short of the above options, extremely long prison sentences provide a "warehouse option" that stores dangerous people in a safe location, again with proven results in reducing the danger they present to decent people in the community.
Those aren't the "evidence-based strategies" that these liberals wanted to hear? I guess the purpose of the demanded research is to create evidence supporting the answers that have already been endorsed by democrats, not to make communities safer.
I thought Congress stopped the CDC from spending money on such studies 20 or 30 years ago.
Yes, by all means, that’s just what we need - yet ANOTHER study of ‘gun violence’ just like all the other studies of ‘gun violence’.
And every one of them funneling large sums of cash to a lot of airy-fairy, pseudo-intellectual, half-arsed ‘scientists’ who made up their minds on the issue several years ago.
We already know the root cause of the majority of the non-accidental deaths and injuries by firearms.
And it isn't the Amish.....
Hyperbolic fear-monger much?
It should be noted that this "epidemic" has occurred in cities with the strictest gun control laws in the country, under left-wing administrators, perpetrated in the main by members of certain ethnic groups. But I'll bet that "evidence" never makes it on the final report.
So why don't we stop pretending that this proposal is an attempt to find a real solution to violent crime and just admit that it's a side-door plot to further gut the Second Amendment and impose even more restrictions on our God-given right to self defense?
They might re-discover pleasure with the Lord and rear proper thinking families
Gun violence as well as ALL other violence will drastically reduce to almost nothing
A representative Republic works properly only with a religiously moral citizenry
“Evidence based” and “ravaged” are the buzzwords these hacks have been told to say.
Notice they’re popping up all over in discussing gun control.
Violence doesn’t have anything to do with race or culture. Has to be guns.
Not.
Sounds like someone has been sending out directives to lay the foundation for a new crack at disarmament. I can tell them how to stop the gun violence. Don’t let liberals have guns.
When Other reaches 1% of Amish + Mennonite you might have a problem...
Does ANY data NO exist that requires Congress to use taxpayer funds to obtain/compile/provide?
Go blow your own State’s $$ and beholden to the voters thereof.
Seems they are going to try one more time, eh?
Gots to get those stats right this time!
