    You’re linking an article about a study funded by Biden’s justice department and the other poster is right about your both sides comments

    The OPs article is about an office Biden is creating for this exact type of research too.

    I understand the frustration. I have a 13 year old who his mom has tucked away in gun loving rural America.

    But your both sidesisms are not helpful.

      Care to support that?

      The OPs article is about an office Biden is creating for this exact type of research too.

      Right - Biden, of AR-ban fame.

      It remains to be seen whether or not this office will support any research or just parrot Everytown.

      I understand the frustration. I have a 13 year old who his mom has tucked away in gun loving rural America.

      But your both sidesisms are not helpful.

      I don’t believe you do, given your refusal to hold blue team accountable for their failings here in doing anything beyond focusing on symptoms. I’d argue such willful partisan blindness is less helpful.

        Funded by the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the Department of Justice

        From the article you posted.

        The rest is math. They decided to do the project in 2019. Grants take anywhere from 8-20 months to get funded. It also takes time to put together the application.

        Biden’s Justice department funded this research. And since you’re being rude, for ages was clearly bullshit too. You linked an article talking about research that was conceived in 2019.

          Ah, I see - you argue that a department is Biden’s for nothing more than his being President at the time.

          And since you’re being rude, for ages was clearly bullshit too. You linked an article talking about research that was conceived in 2019.

          Don’t project.

          You could argue it was exaggerating, sure. It doesn’t change the information has been available and continues to be summarily ignored by both parties.

            The NRA (and GOP), have been stifling this type of research for years. So yes, I doubt the justice department under Trump would have approved their research grant.

            I forgave your hyperbole the first time, as you said, it was an exaggeration. Then you came at me like I don’t care about my son because you think I have political bias.

            I’m an anarcho-syndacalist. And I’m sure there’s a lot of other far left people down voting you. I’m not sucking the Democrats off. And acting like both sides are to blame isn’t helpful.

            The Democrats are sick of gun violence and I’m sure they’re aware of the research the justice department, under Biden, funded.
