    False. Congress banned the CDC from doing this kind of research. The FBI does perform crime statistics analysis as part of it’s Congressional mandate, available at https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov. I am well aware of the stats myself, and there is no correlation between violent crime rates and increased firearms regulations. If you are going to violate people’s constitutional rights, you damn sure better have stats to back it up. At the very least.

      There is a very tight relationship between firearms ownership and probability of suicide and killing spouse/family members.
