Largely because it's semi-illegal to do so, and you can thank the Republicans for that.

Back in the mid-90s the Republicans threatened to defund the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention unless they stopped funding research into firearm violence, injuries, and deaths, and wrote an amendment mandating the same into a 1996 spending bill - it has been in force ever since.

Democrats have attempted several times, including three times in the last five years, to remove the amendment, all without success.


Well that makes sense. Why would something that's for diseases be dealing with something that isn't a disease?

Because it's not just for diseases and it does studies on injuries and non-disease-related disabilities all the time?
