about there not being a "ban" on gun violence research and think that if they were being honest they should just say: "There is a ban on any "meaningful" research about gun violence."

Hopefully, the UC Davis group will address such issues as warning labels, enhanced safety design features, safe storage legislation, and "child proofing" guns. The safety regulation of dangerous consumer items is a long-standing practice in this country -- except for the right-wing gun lobby's precious money-maker.
