I've been thinking about "gun-control" proponents

9. Just a few things,

The CDC does, the Dicky Amendment only prohibits advocacy. Gun control advocates know this and are being intellectually dishonest. The problem with the CDC in the 1990s was that they were not doing valid research. They were giving money to activists to do shill studies. There is already a large amount of valid peer reviewed studies by independent academics, CDC, DoJ's NIJ, FBI, InterPol, etc. The problem is that activists don't like the results.

There simply is no valid reason for gun registries. They have no effect on crime. The State has no valid interest in knowing what I own.

The "gun show loophole" is another dishonest propaganda term. It doesn't exist.

There is nothing wrong with the record keeping under the Gun Control Act. Also, mechanical devices can't do damage alone. When people say killed with a knife but say killed by a gun shows poor critical thinking skills. Over half of all murders in the US are committed in 2 percent of the counties. 90 percent of our our murders are criminal gangs killing each other.

Not comparable. The tobacco companies were sued because of marketing, and the fact that tobacco is a substance that harms the user when used as directed, and an addictive drug.
