A private group announced on Thursday it would provide nearly $10 million in grants for a number of gun-related studies.
The National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research said it would provide funding for research on topics like suicide, police shootings, school violence, and gun safety. The group has selected 17 different research projects to provide with grants. These projects will examine topics including gun use in domestic violence, police training for "high-stakes situations," and disadvantaged urban youths' experience with guns. |

Just so this "Collaborative" understands that no policy that violates the constitutional prohibition on the infringement of the people's natural right to arms can be considered.
"[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
