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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
