I am aware of how the CDC was censured for non-scientific propaganda they were peddling in the 90s. I am also aware that the justice department (the appropriate entity for this sort of study) has never been restricted in the way you suggest.

I am also aware that the CDC did conduct a study (during Obama's administration) that largely confirmed pro-gun claims, and has subsequently been suppressed.

Your phrasing is extremely biased. The CDC is prevented from engaging in a lot of research into gun crime period regardless of the potential results.

No politician wants actual evidence in that debate because it is far too profitable for them to leave questions unanswered.
