This is clearly one of those moments, one of those issues, that\u2019s harming America\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomething has to be done about this,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She plans to \u201crestart the research\u201d that had supposedly been banned by the National Rifle Association and previous Republican administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy job is to understand and evaluate the problem. To understand the scope of the problem. To understand why this happens and what are the things that can make it better,\u201d she said, offering no additional detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/nra-ila-newsom-exposes-the-political-purpose-of-californias-taxpayer-funded-anti-gun-factoid-factory\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cdc-director-unveils-plan-to-do-something-about-gun-violence\" title=\"CDC Director Unveils Plan to 'Do Something' About 'Gun Violence'\">NRA-ILA: Newsom Exposes the Political Purpose of California\u2019s Taxpayer-funded Anti-gun Factoid Factory<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The claim that the federal government is not allowed to research gun-related violence is misleading. In 1996, after the CDC began funding studies that recommended increased gun control, Congress prohibited the agency from using taxpayer funds that \u201cadvocate or promote gun control.\u201d The CDC has always been free to fund research into gun-related violence, but they haven\u2019t chosen to do so until recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her reiteration of this misleading claim, Walensky hopes gun owners will be open to working with her on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s agree that we don\u2019t want people to die. Let\u2019s just agree there. What can we do to stop people from dying?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGenerally, the word \u2018gun\u2019 for those who are concerned about research in this area, is followed by the word \u2018control,\u2019 and that\u2019s not what I want to do here. I\u2019m not here about gun control. I\u2019m here about preventing gun violence and gun death,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/why-record-setting-gun-sales-have-nothing-to-do-with-spike-in-violent-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cdc-director-unveils-plan-to-do-something-about-gun-violence\" title=\"CDC Director Unveils Plan to 'Do Something' About 'Gun Violence'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Record-Setting Gun Sales Have Nothing To Do with Spike in Violent Crime<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>She encouraged gun owners to \u201cbe a part of the solution\u201d and \u201cjoin us in the conservation.\u201d \u201cTell me about what you do to make your gun safe, and then tell everybody else,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walensky is late to the party. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has for decades promoted safe gun storage through its <a href=\"https:\/\/projectchildsafe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cdc-director-unveils-plan-to-do-something-about-gun-violence\" title=\"CDC Director Unveils Plan to 'Do Something' About 'Gun Violence'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Childsafe<\/a>. The NSSF has distributed over 38 million gun locks, and the organization offers resources and materials for gun owners who want to store and use their firearms safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their latest campaign, for example, gives parents a guide for understanding their teens\u2019 mental health and urges them to keep their guns locked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot off her stunningly competent performance handling the COVID-19 pandemic, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky is ready to tackle another \u201cepidemic\u201d in our country: \u201cgun violence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":150462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,593,240],"tags":[132,469,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-150461","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-jordan-michaels","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-gun-control","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CDC Director Unveils Plan to &#039;Do Something&#039;
