Because of the lack of federal funding for the research and the political climate, private funding is much lower on this than anything else because donors get skittish about it. Why spend the money if the government doesn't take it seriously enough to invest in the research as well?
Well then, maybe Jimmy Kimble and the rest of the teeth gnashing assholes on twitter can pony up some of their cash and STFU?

There are plenty, mega wealthy, people who call for tighter gun laws after events like this. Why don't they do something concrete like fund such a study? I suspect it's because they know they won't get an answer they want.
