Democrat New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich is calling for the Dickey Amendment to be repealed, which prevents the Center For Disease Control and Prevention from studying gun violence and its effects on public health.

Heinrich Calls For Repeal Of Dickey Amendment That Restricts CDC From Researching Gun Violence

The amendment is named after its author Jay Dickey, a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Arkansas.[2] The amendment was introduced after lobbying by the National Rifle Association in response to their perceived bias in a 1993 study by Arthur Kellermann that found that guns in the home were associated with an increased risk of homicide in the home, as well as other CDC funded studies and efforts.

THEY’RE NOT ALLOWED TO RESEARCH IT ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Land of the free right there, my guys. They’re real big on freedom of speech, oh yes.
