7 min readFederal agencies will be allotted $25M to study gun violence in a government spending deal reached by House and Senate negotiators.Congress has reached a spending agreement that includes $25 million for gun violence research, the first funding in more than 20 years to study a problem that killsThe money will be split evenly between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.
"It's biggest amount that the federal government has ever put into federal firearms research," Rosenberg noted."It signals an end to the drought of knowledge about preventing this significant problem.""Given violence and suicide have a number of causes, the agreement recommends the CDC take a comprehensive approach to studying these underlying causes and evidence-based methods of prevention of injury, including crime prevention," the bill states.
Wonder who’s in line to steal that $25 million of taxpayers hard earned money.
We don't need 25 million on research. Most of the gun deaths are suicides. Let's get that in order
TRAIN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENTS TO STOP KILLING UNARMED AFRICAN AMERICANS CIVILIANS!! THAT'S 30,000 RIGHT THERE!!! SAVED THE COUNTRY 20 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
There goes $20 million into researching Chicago.
No age limit to operate, a loaded gun, pull the trigger, hit a party.research done😅🤣
Suicide is violence now?
What a waste of money. A study of freaks who want to kill people because somehow they were offended or wronged.
The 2nd Amendment is not a medical issue. I don['t need a medical researcher to tell me that guns can kill people, or that criminals should not have guns. If those are the findings, give me the 25 mil.
25 Million for studying humans who have been violently killing each other with what ever means they had available for thousands of years.... Here let me help you...there are a lot of horrible people in the world & research is not going to change that KeepCriminalsJailed
More teenagers die from car crashes while texting than any gun shootings. Shall we ban their cell phones? How about their vehicles
Round 2
When are y’all going to learn guns don’t kill people people kill people using guns. Blame the object not the person. Way to go America!!!
It's like you intentionally forget Obama spending $10M on a study that showed the left was wrong on everything.
The NRA must be apoplectic with Trump and Republicans ... but Americans cheer the courageous Democrats.
Studying it is fine, but can we take a step back and realize that the damage has already been, continues to be, and will continue to be done? We need stricter regulation. Regulation is different from banning guns outright. A compromise would be more regulation. gun regulation
To put it another way Someone got $25 million to study common sense responsibility
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
and saves an estimated 100x more lives...been lots of studies, media hacks...Obama commissioned one...did not like the results...tossed it in the garbage per witnesses.
do we really need to research this? come on... 25 million dollars for this? I THINK as WE THE PEOPLE, we NEED to get a LOOK at the BUDGET and CUT the waste!
Bring on 'Smart Guns Technology'
Once you get rid of gang violence and suicides the numbers are almost nonexistent
23000 of those people use guns to kill themselves
Where's Trump and McConnell on the 2nd Amendment? 🦗 (crickets) ImpeachmentEve
Wasting more of our tax money.
Wonder if they'll address vehicles which kill more people than guns
Colossal waste of taxpayers $s
Research shows if you don’t protect yourself bad things happen! I’m billing ...$20 million to SpeakerPelosi Her constituents can’t even get to their front door for ⛺️ tents lining curb. Oh..watch out for 💩💩💩
Long awaited !!!
This is bullshit, they had a study during the Obama admin and tried to bury the results because they didn't like them.
More fake new out of abc. Gun violence research has always been funded. However, that research can't be set up to be political. Now it can. So, when it comes out as bullshit fake news like this story, we will know why.
Guns are the problem, just saved you $25M youre welcome.
We'll see if the NRA gets to Trump.
Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Just saved us $25 million. Spend it on the wall.
Irresponsible gun owners.
This is a false statistic and anti-gun propaganda. About 15,000 people are murdered by firearm. The rest are suicides. Most people would not consider suicide to be “gun violence.”
Research? 🙈
And McConnell will let it die.
What about Healthcare and Prescription Drug Cost? 2nd Amendment Right to bear Arms...Not going anywhere!!! They will not take Our Guns away!!! And I have never owned a gun...never wanted one in my house that’s my choice...but your not taking guns away from Americans!!!
Here’s “research!” Keep guns out of the hands of violent liberals!
Great, something else’s for them to lie about. They’ll have to justify spending the money some how.
Guns kill people, no guns no mass shootings... research done, you can just donate the 25 million to charity now.
More people are killed by drunk drivers per yeae than by firearms. Dont see a lot being done there. Oh, more people are killed by blunt objects than by firearms, what's being done about that?
Buy back the guns
Thanks to president Trump
Nice to see congress still wasting money 👍
If the research is truthful we will see most gun deaths are caused by suicide which is every humans right to take their own life
Study... please 25 friends kids get 1 million each.. for a year then it just gets appropriated from then on... that’s the guy that drives the Porsche at Starbucks at 2 pm every day ..they decide after 10years.. they kill
Research what smh damn shame folks die for a temper tantrum or worse and them goofy Congressmen pass a research bill. We need to research and see if it's not going back into their pockets because that's dumb AF.
25 Million What a JOKE
What a waste of 25 million dollars!
It's just gonna show black people killing black people in the inner cities is the main problem. But you won't hear that cause it's not politically correct. Put the money into their PARENTS learning how to be a parent!
Research? Research what? Appeasement, plain & simple. Study the problem, do nothing
Well. Lemme get some of that money. I’ll let you know right NOW what TF it is! 🤬🤬🤬
If the research indicates gun control is a must, Congress will ask for more research until it gets the answer it wants.
25mil padding some pockets. I guarantee nothing will change. It’s a systemic failure to provide mental health care, proper education, and influence of garbage like Trump, Putin, and Associates in divisional tactics. Again, no one in govt fixing problems. Just blowing smoke.
26,000 are suicides.
Good!
Unconstitutional. Waste of taxpayer dollars.
