What are the arguments in favor of maintaining the ban on the Centers for Disease Control researching gun violence?

They literally worked with Dr. Salk himself to develop and administer the vaccine! Do you really think that research can only done by one person and is non collaborative? I dont know why you are so hesitant to not give the CDC any credit for even polio. CDC does research on regulating angle sizes of ladders to prevent falls, so if they can advise the government for ladder angles, im pretty sure they are not just versed in infectious diseases.

As far as the rest of your argument goes, we dont know what specific programs will help with the socioeconomic factors for gun violence, but as you said, you want to find out yourself. Perhaps if there were a body capable of doing research on this topic, we would be able to be more specific and know exactly what works and what doesn’t with respect to gun violence
