| This is a problem. Government departments must have delimited authority and scope. There are other government and nonprofit entities tracking gun violence. Absolutely no need for CDC to get involved except for stupid politics. It's a distraction from their core mission. |

| Yes. The folks who want us to pretend gun violence isn’t a problem also oppose mental health funding. |
