And what does that have to do with accidents and murder?
Centers for Disease Control and Surveillance. They keep track of all vital statistics and mortality statistics, including those from homicide as well as injury data.
Gun violence can be viewed as a public health problem, since it is a major cause of non-fatal injury as well as death.

Regardless, they got involved with the politics of their research and rightfully got slapped for it.

So can AIDS. Do you want a federal official telling you when, where, and with whom you can have sex?

One of the roles of public health is to outline policies that might lead to prevention of disease and injury. So yes, public health organizations will make recommendations for disease prevention, ie. recommending to have protected sex.
Over the years, many of the anti-gun studies have been shown to be junk science. Redefining 'child' as 19 or younger, so that 19 year old soldier killed in a training accident becomes a "child victim of gun-violence."
At a time when we are broke as a nation, why would we want tax dollars going to fund junk science?
Science is only "junk science" when you don't like the findings.
I guess the way you have to look at it is, "We have a budget of 2.5 trillion dollars. Should we spend any of that on research that may prevent some of the 30,000 annual deaths by firearms in the US.?"
How you answer that reveals a lot about you as a person, I think.
if you were a better student of it, you'd know that registration leads to confiscation and that there is no such thing as "common sense" in government circles.
class dismissed.
Gee, I guess there's just nothing we can do, then! Might as well not even try, huh?

CDC does research on many health topics, funny how the only restrictions were placed on research regaring gun deaths. Always astounds me how the NRA leadership is so paranoid over government, did cogress ask that funding be denied for studies on automobile fatalities, alcohol, aids, no just research on firearms. Seems to me like more information is beneficial to education, maybe they don't like facts?

Well Austrailia went next step beyond registration, they actually confiscated all the weapons and gun homicides decreased dramatically.
They had to pay a price though, the government now controls every part of their lives, the storm troopers have taken over the country and the people are absolutely helpless to stop them. Austrailia is the last place anyone would want to live, the residents are leaving in droves.
