Please pay close attention to the summary reccomendations:
- Remove "policy riders" on federal appropriations bills that limit firearms research at the CDC and NIH and provide appropriate funding to study the role of firearms on public health.
- Fully fund the National Violent Death Reporting System and expand it to all 50 states to improve our understanding of the role firearms play in fatalities.
- Reconstitute the research program on gun trafficking at the National Institute of Justice to update and expand our understanding of the market for illegal guns.
- Resume the publication of Justice Department reports on illegal gun markets and trafficking patterns.
- Rescind the Tiahrt Amendments 1
1"Access Denied" by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, January, 2013.
OK. As I promised I'm staying brief today. But here's a good couple of hours worth or studying for my peacemaker friends. You'll probably get nostalgic for my explanations of St. Augustine and Immanuel Kant when you've finished (seriously, it's a good read...but then, so was my philosophy blogging).
Peace to you all. I'l talk soon. Feel free to comment/write.
