news

FWIW,
The CDC, in what was called an "unusual moment of candor" recently
reported
that gun legislation does not have a statistically significant influence
on
gun crime in the US. If I can find the article I will post a link to it.

Well, that would be refreshing to see, John. If you happen upon it, I would
like to see it. But don't go out of your way for it.

Wasn't that recent post (this year) about the CDC releasing
a report saying that they couldn't decide on anything, that
the stats from 40 odd reports were incomplete? I wondered
why the Center for DISEASE Control had a gun stat committee.
Here it is: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5214a2.htm
The posts were here back in October:

John, was this the report you referred to?
