I completely agree. What you have done, though, is make an excellent argument for the uselessness of the CDC conducting similar studies, for the same reasons. Neither side is interested in a genuine debate or a potential answer. Guns, like abortion, is a hot button issue both sides can gin up to get their voters to the polls.
