1/7 👏👏👏 We applaud Congress for its bipartisan agreement on #gunviolence research funding, which ends a decades-long stalemate on this critical issue. Read our full statement: arnoldventures.org/newsroom/arnol…

@JTravis48 @AndrewMorral @GunResearch @asheleyvn 2/7 This substantive action to prevent #gunviolence by appropriating $25 million for @CDCgov & National Institutes of Health comes after two "lost decades" since the Dickey Amendment was erroneously interpreted to forbid gun violence research in 1996. arnoldventures.org/stories/after-…
@JTravis48 @AndrewMorral @GunResearch @asheleyvn @CDCgov 3/7 Even more historic is what made this progress on #gunviolence research possible: A bipartisan coalition of supporters inside of Congress and in the community.
@JTravis48 @AndrewMorral @GunResearch @asheleyvn @CDCgov 4/7 For years, voices from every sector in America—law enforcement, school leaders, veterans, academics, and grassroots organizers—have pointed to research as a critical first step toward creating #evidencebased gun policy that can actually save lives. arnoldventures.org/stories/30-fed…
@JTravis48 @AndrewMorral @GunResearch @asheleyvn @CDCgov 5/7 That's why in 2018, we launched @GunResearch, managed by @RANDCorporation, to foster rigorous research on basic questions surrounding #gunviolence and start to fill in critical gaps in knowledge.

@JTravis48 @AndrewMorral @GunResearch @asheleyvn @CDCgov @RANDCorporation 6/7 We also advocated for federal funding to support research at a scale commensurate with the problem—something only the federal government has the power to do.
@JTravis48 @AndrewMorral @GunResearch @asheleyvn @CDCgov @RANDCorporation 7/7 Funding rigorous research is an approach all of those interested in addressing America’s #gunviolence epidemic can agree on.
