BS Article. Mostly an opinion piece, but it attributes all the foot dragging on research to the NRA with no proof at all. Yes there is foot dragging, but by which side? Nothing here looks at that, they just blame the "Evil NRA."

Dead link... Try
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-13/gun-lobby-helps-block-data-collectio...Also a BS article. This is not about Data Collection, but a gun registry. How about a free speech registry? The fact that we do not trust the federal government with a national registry is sound thinking. Look what happened with this one?

They do not want tax dollars funding biased research... I am OK with that. If you are not, find some money and fund it.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/26/opinion/etzioni-gunsAnother article in support of gun registration and serial numbers for bullets. The problem is, in addition to adding a lot of costs, and removing legal reloading, we do not trust the record keepers.

https://www.change.org/petitions/stop-the-nra-s-block-on-gun-research Quote:The N.R.A. denounced the research as “political opinion masquerading as medical science,” and in 1996, Congress took $2.6 million intended for gun research and redirected it to traumatic brain injury. It prohibited the use of C.D.C. money “to advocate or promote gun control.”
If all of these people so support the research, why not pay for it? Other than the fact that counter research has shown time and time again that it is false. Research paid for by private groups, I might add.

National Rifle Association (NRA) Continues to Feed Its Readers Demonstrable Lies and Distortions
Thoroughly debunked years ago, the gun lobby’s favorite research – a 1995 study by Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz that reported an astounding 2.5 million defense gun uses (DGU) each year in the United States. Yep, you read it right; 2.5 million DGUs PER YEAR!
The Kleck study claims that 2.5 million times per year, someone uses a gun to defend themselves. That’s more defensive gun uses than happened in WWII in Europe in 1944. The Kleck study is so flawed the only thing it measures is the wild imagination of gun owners.
I will look, but I have seen that 2.5 million number in a post here.
Cool.
Srinath.
I call BS. Citation needed, and better than the debunked ones above.
