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 |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
