Because of research bans like the Dickey Amendment, Joel Kurtinitis has a deafening voice in the conversation over where to carry and not to carry guns [State Fair gun ban is useless, dangerous, Aug. 7]. The Dickey provision prohibits the Centers for Disease Control from researching gun violence. As such, Kurtinitis can claim anything his heart desires about protecting neighbors who he asserts need his protection. |

Typical letter to the editor, full of lies, and no way to respond directly.
The Dickey amendment does not prohibit CDC research, what it does is quite plainly spelled out in the wording itself.
“none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may be used to advocate or promote gun control.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
