Funding Bill Includes Gun-Controllers' Wish-Come-True: $25M for 'Gun Violence' Research

One of the two appropriations packages includes $25 million for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health to fund "gun violence research," a priority of gun control advocates.
