Anti-gun Bureaucrats love to weaponize government in favor of their political agendas. We’ve seen how they use the ATF to change rules that affect the rights of gun owners without even giving anyone a chance to vote on specific policies.
Congress has been taking millions of dollars from you, the taxpayer, and giving it to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. They’ve taken this money from you to produce anti-gun propaganda and studies that will support gun control legislation, including the following:
- $1,100,000 to study the “relationship between lawful gun ownership and risk”
- $490,000 to study “a state with Constitutional Carry versus a stater with strict gun control”
- $333,000 to “evaluate” gun confiscation laws and gun purchase wait periods in California
- $518,000 “to enhance policy implementation” of “expanded background checks [and] firearm storage requirements” and gun confiscation laws in Michigan
- $3,600,000 to study “firearm retirement” for senior citizens which “will strongly parallel (key but not all) aspects of driving retirement”
- $650,000 to study “firearm prohibitions and relinquishment”
- $1,200,000 to run a study including “in person and telehealth wellness check-ins” which explicitly include “safety (e.g., guns at home…)”
- $428,000 to study how “episodic crime reports… that depict violence as a ‘crime’ issue… can lead audiences to blame victims [and] reinforce racist stereotypes”
- $349,000 to find out if state gun control “firearm laws reduce mortality”
- $126,000 to find out why Black Americans are six times more likely “to experience an assault-related firearm injury” as White Americans
- $2,100,000 “to inform evidence-based interventions that prevent firearm injury risks involving Asian Americans” caused by their mere “firearm possession” and more.
Did you know your hard-earned tax money is being used to undermine your rights? This is nothing more than an anti-gun fear campaign to produce as much support as possible for their gun grabs, and you are paying for it.
These CDC and NIH studies are fabricated to justify such gun control restrictions as gun confiscation laws, mandatory waiting periods, and even a firearm retirement age. Yes, you read that right; they want to create an age at which you are deemed too old to own guns. As unconstitutional and ridiculous as these proposed policies are, there are people who have been conditioned to fear guns and despise those who own them, who would actually support these measures. The type of propaganda in these biased studies are produced specifically to appeal to people who don’t know any better or those who have been indoctrinated with irrational gun fear.
The Dickey Amendment is included in every government funding bill and was created to prevent groups like the CDC and NIH from weaponizing research for the purpose of creating biased, politically motivated data that could be used by politicians and bureaucrats to promote and advocate for gun control. Its basic intention was to declare that “none of the funds made available in this title may be used in whole or in part, to advocate or promote gun control.”
It has become perfectly clear that the CDC and NIH are being used by anti-gunners for the purpose of perpetuating a false, so-called “gun violence” narrative in the pursuit of unconstitutional gun laws that would make it nearly impossible for lawful American Citizens, to keep and bear arms.
Several major studies have determined that there are between 500,000 and 3 million defensive gun uses per year in America. Even the CDC was forced to admit in 2021 that there were approximately 1.6 million defensive gun uses every year in America. In other words, good people using their personal firearms to stop violent crime. 95% of the time the trigger was never even pulled. Just the mere presence of that gun stopped the crime. Since those defensive gun studies didn’t support the anti-gun agenda, the CDC was later encouraged by the anti-gun lobby to remove those reports from public view.
Now, it would appear the CDC is being encouraged by congressional Democrats to ignore their own study and create new propaganda that supports the gun-grab agenda.
Isn’t it ironic how groups like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health are not focusing on the mental health issues that cause human violence? Isn’t it interesting how they abandon their very own areas of expertise to focus on firearms?
Republican representative from Iowa Mary Miller Meeks has introduced an amendment specifying that the CDC and NIH are not to be leveraged in the promotion or advocation for gun control. Help support this amendment by going to gunowners.org and use the simple form to tell your Congressman and Senators to refuse this illegal funding of the CDC and NIH.

Communists enriching other communists. The only good commie…
Kill a commie for Mommy!
CDC lost any credibility with the covid bovine refuse.
HERE! HERE! i totally agree sir! it is, and has always been, the Center for Democrat Control.
A number of years ago the CDC put out a statement that people should be ready for ANY type of a disaster… including a zombie apocalypse. Anyone who knows anything about zombies knows that the most effective way to dispatch a zombie is by shooting it in the head. Therefore, my having firearms and ammo is due to the direct recommendation of the federal government.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
BTW the gun you use HAS to be black or it WON’T WORK. scary cuts scary just like diamonds.
Wonder if I Cera Kote my black rifle to a nice friendly color if it will be less scary to gun grabbers ?
remember, these tyrants work for you. fire them
november.
ProbIem is, MOST of the probIem ones are bureaucrats who are NOT eIected, but appointed. Some have been in there for 40-50 years. That’s why back in 2016 l said that Trump needed to fire EVERYONE who was fireable on day one. He still does. KIinton fired a TON of people.
that’s only about 11 million taxpayer dollars wasted. that is a bargain compared to the billions sent to ukraine and the billions in weapons left in afghanistan, so this is kind of a deal.
really, all of this is so idiotic that it defies common sense. what a huge waste of taxpayer money. if only they spent our money like it was theirs.
“if only they spent our money like it was theirs” They do. They think our money is theirs to spend, and do so. You have no say, so go back to work you worker bee. Earn more money for them.
And ILLEGAL aliens have 2a rights? Bad times folks. I sense a major Gov’t. overhaul coming (I pray so)..
Thanks for the numbers Dan. I had no idea the amount of our tax $ were thrown out to to them were so high!!
Dince 1992 at the very least. Please remember, your federal government has a fourth branch of government, the Administrative State and that branch is elected by no one and controlled by no one. The rampant spread of bureaucratic supremacy in our federal government since the 1920’s has led to a gang of Mark Rosenburgs who think they can use federal money and power to advance an agenda not supported by the Constitution or the will of the public.
The author tells us to contact the Gun Owners of America to petition our representatives to stop the funding for this potential infringement but failed to include an easy hyperlink to make that happen. Here you go, please take a minute to fill out the form. While you’re there, if you’re not a member, join and there’s a couple of other issues with hyperlinks you can petition your representatives to oppose.

Thank you. I was also expecting a link too be included in the article. Although I’m sure I will receive it directly from GOA, I appreciate the ease of taking action in the “here-and-now” while my mind is fresh on the topic at hand. I often customize the email a little to include some of my personal thoughts – always ‘professional’. (Not that politicians actually read these messages but it can’t hurt, right?)
My understanding is that most politicians office’s only present one version of messages which have been duplicated – may report number of duplicates, but they are typically weighted far lower than unique letters. Therefore I also customize my letters, generally personalizing a bit – sometimes explaining how I will personally be impacted. As you said keep it professional.
Sorry about the missing link Guys. Thanks for posting.
I cut and pasted Dan’s bullet points into the contact forms of my 3 congress critters and bitched to them about it. It’s tilting at windmills but you should do the same.
What our side needs to do is print out Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and keep the list handy. Buy Paul Valone’s book that gives you multiple examples of how to easily incorporate the Rules into our advocacy and start holding the representatives accountable to their own rules.
It’s time to use every thing in our quiver to defeat today’s commies. Never, ever forget to use the strongest weapon we have Ridicule. The Rules work for anyone who tries them.
The problem with critiques like this is that they are somewhat ignorant of facts. I absolutely agree there is a likelihood, potentially strong likelihood, that these studies could be biased. However, there is also the potential these studies could actually bolster our arguments, just as the DOJ annual statistics routinely back up what we say regarding the threat from long guns, how suicides disproportionally skew the “gun violence” death rate, etc. Furthermore, we also use studies, e.g. by Prof Kleck and others, in our arguments; it seems somewhat hypocritical to deride studies on the one hand and then use them… Read more »
Far too many on the right side of the line have been dead asleep to the threat of the Progressive New Left. Since the 1940’s these clowns have been incrementally eroding civil and natural rights in our once great Republic. They have been at it for a long time and are deeply embedded in the administrative state and all institutions of culture. Step one in resistance is recognizing the simple fact that these demonic forces have the advantage of time and depth of penetration. Our side has one advantage: truth. Call them out in to the light of day, disenfranchise… Read more »
Gun grabbers weaponize bananas and pop tarts. when will we sue them? if there were a group trying to prevent a segment of the citizen population from voting or owning property, what lawsuits would be filed against them? i suspect the DoJ would go after them whole heart with something.
As Ron Paul’s Congressional desk placard read…”Taxation is Theft.” Politicians believe the more We The Little Peeps’ money is in play the easier to skim, scam, scheme, squander, launder and pocket, and with which to buy the votes of free-shit addicted, useful idiot Government Plantation Dwellers. They can tax Productive Citizens to pay for the sow belly and collard greens, shanty shacks, and O’Bummer phones, and they get almost all the black vote because they have been dumbed down not to realize they are voting for the Jim Crow Party. Scamville, USA. Enemy sitting in the command Post. Vets have… Read more »
And ALL of this bull crap is enforced via the 100% criminal legal system/Matrix!! When anyone commits a crime of any scope or nature, they immediately lose all of their pretense of power and authority over others! How can that not be so? Are certain kinds of criminals afforded a different standing than other criminals? If they are, then where can we find that written down and determine who wrote it? Was it some other criminals?
DUH…Just now figuring that out. Wow.
