I know funding is always a strange process, but I don't consider gun violence a 'disease' in any literal sense of the word.  I agree there needs to be study but the obvious group that I do not see involved is Law Enforcement.   That seem's absurd to me.  These are crimes, not a comunicable disease.     

Who better to know the black market than police?

Who better to know criminal backgrounds and reviews of sentencing effectivenes?

Who is more at risk for gun violence than the police who face it daily?

Law enforement can still act in the public forum, these aren't going to be closed police 'reviews'.

Sorry, but we are not going to 'nice guy' weapons out of the hands of those who use them for crimes of profit.
