Liar. What I wrote is that if you have a clean background passing a
background check is not hard.  That doesn't mean it isn't a big deal.
Any time the federal government sticks its nose in your private business
is a big deal.  Any lover of liberty should mistrust government
intrusions into his life.

You should talk with this guy:

Those "hurdles" are not "quite hard".  There are only three hurdles:
(1) You have to pass a background check, which if you have a clean
background is not hard.  (2) You have to pay a $200 tax.  (3) You
have to be able to pay the purchase price.

Unlike you, he does not think such checks are a big deal. LOL!

Your flip flops and hair splitting amuses me.

It is not hard but it is a big deal? What? No... you are playing games now.

But personal threats are fine? LOL!

Check my just-posted comments to another part of this thread,
explaining the difference between "not hard" and "not a big deal".
Another example"  It would be not hard to cause a car accident
injuring or killing someone, but it would be a big deal if you did.

$200 tax is the difference.

He, like you, fears the research that would lead to better risk / 
benefit analysis in terms of guns. You just want to have your toys no 
matter how far outside of the evidence it goes.

Amazing to watch you guys trip over yourselves in an effort to tell the 
biggest lies as you work to avoid those realities.

Simple. The CDC is not the proper agency for that, and they have a proven 
track record of posting biased and misleading 'research' to advance a 
particular political agenda.

Now do you want research, or propaganda?

Every single gun control law has a 100% risk of infringing on the right 
of the people to keep and bear arms.

How much of your money has been spent on the research you claim
to want done?

More than you have spent on Trump’s wall.   

And how much do you pay for police and the military and roads? Your very
question is naive.

I pay income taxes that help fund federal projects.  The government
is currently installing sections of Trump’s 30-foot-high wall. 
https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/06/us-mexico-border-wall-being-built-slowly/#slide-1 

That means I have spent something on Trump's wall.
If you have spent more on the research you claim to want done,
that means (a) you pay federal taxes, and (b) tax dollars are
already being spent on the research you want done.  Since
according to you the research is being done, you can now
stop saying you want it.

Your attempt to weasel out of answering by changing the
subject is duly noted.  Now I have to relabel you as a

Ah, so by spending you include taxes. Then I have spent money and 
support spending more money on health and safety research on guns.

And we should fund it via the government, as we do the sections of the 
symbolic and mostly useless wall.

We have covered how the CDC has zero funding for such research. Now you 
pretend to not know about this.

Seems more and more likely you chew on too many pencils with lead 
chromate paint... and you have no idea why such pencils are no longer 
sold in the US.

Don't move the goalpost.  Your claim is that you have spent
more money on the research you want done than I have spent
on Trump's wall. That is possible only if the research you
want done has already been done.

> We have covered how the CDC has zero funding for such research. 

No we haven't.  To the contrary, the CDC HAS funded firearm
research.  For example:
https://dhss.delaware.gov/dhss/dms/files/cdcgunviolencereport10315.pdf
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6230a1.htm
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/reports/pdfs/2011-0069-3140.pdf
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db241.htm

https://www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#12
The results of this Obama-directed, CDC-funded study are telling:
1. Armed citizens are less likely to be injured by an attacker:

"Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of 
guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in 
the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found 
consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared 
with victims who used other self-protective strategies."

2. Defensive uses of guns are common:

"Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses 
by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with 
estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 
million per year... in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes 
involving firearms in 2008."

3. Mass shootings and accidental firearm deaths account for a small 
fraction of gun-related deaths, and both are declining:

"The number of public mass shootings of the type that occurred at Sandy 
Hook Elementary School accounted for a very small fraction of all 
firearm-related deaths. Since 1983 there have been 78 events in which 4 
or more individuals were killed by a single perpetrator in 1 day in the 
United States, resulting in 547 victims and 476 injured persons." The 
report also notes, "Unintentional firearm-related deaths have steadily 
declined during the past century. The number of unintentional deaths due 
to firearm-related incidents accounted for less than 1 percent of all 
unintentional fatalities in 2010."

4. "Interventions" (i.e, gun control) such as background checks, 
so-called assault rifle bans and gun-free zones produce "mixed" results:

"Whether gun restrictions reduce firearm-related violence is an 
unresolved issue." The report could not conclude whether "passage of 
right-to-carry laws decrease or increase violence crime."

5. Gun buyback/turn-in programs are "ineffective" in reducing crime:

"There is empirical evidence that gun turn in programs are ineffective, 
as noted in the 2005 NRC study Firearms and Violence: A Critical Review. 
For example, in 2009, an estimated 310 million guns were available to 
civilians in the United States (Krouse, 2012), but gun buy-back programs 
typically recover less than 1,000 guns (NRC, 2005). On the local level, 
buy-backs may increase awareness of firearm violence. However, in 
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for example, guns recovered in the buy-back were 
not the same guns as those most often used in homicides and suicides 
(Kuhn et al., 2002)."

6. Stolen guns and retail/gun show purchases account for very little crime:

"More recent prisoner surveys suggest that stolen guns account for only 
a small percentage of guns used by convicted criminals. … According to 
a 1997 survey of inmates, approximately 70 percent of the guns used or 
possess by criminals at the time of their arrest came from family or 
friends, drug dealers, street purchases, or the underground market."

The CDC is not the only government agency engaged in firearm research.

https://bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fuo.pdf
https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44126.pdf

back such spending.

And off you run... as YOU move goal posts from me paying for something 
(with the implication of it being me directly) to tax money going toward it.
