Democratic lawmakers have renewed an effort to fund research at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that would track gun violence and study firearm safety following the Nashville school shooting.
A mourner visits a memorial outside of The Covenant School for the six victims who were killed in a mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. On Monday, three adults and three children were killed inside the school.
Republicans have previously opposed expanded funding for gun violence research at the CDC, arguing that such efforts would lead to"propaganda" for gun confiscation. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said Tuesday that Congress should not get involved after mass shootings, arguing that federal lawmakers are unable to prevent gun crimes and would just"mess things up."
