I said that it was on the anniversary of prohibition. Like having your swearing in on the anniversary of the GB address. Symbolism. Violence in America has been studied to death. Pun not strictly intended. But the volume of literature is amazing, all peer reviewed, and all startlingly complete. But, according to my Ph.D. wife, generally short of useful and actionable policy suggestions. I'm all for smarts, but remember when the CDC was going to study gun violence? I think there is a credibility gap in a lot of direct government research. _XC PS - People who are gun owners who care about the second amendment, I would venture to say, are generally perfectly terrified of big city liberal politicians as a class.
