Video begins between 5 to 6-min. mark and opens with much misinformation by vice chair of committee, Mrs. Maloney. Chairman of joint committee is Senator Mike Lee of Utah (R) and his testimony begins at approx. 14.4 mark in video. 20-year expert, Dr. John Lott, President of Crime Prevention Research Center testifies with FACTS at the 34.5 mark. Powerful testimony by Dr. Hupp following at 41-min. mark. Where are all the Republicans on the committee … 2nd amendment protections against government overreach & tyranny are not an important issue? Evidently, government infringement of inherent rights to self-defense is a nonpartisan issue as Republicans capitulate.
Once again the career corrupt crony commies lie, slander, emote, pander, take away rights, hinder Truth
and continue to steal 40% of our efforts while leaching off of us.
Once again they slander and block in order to promote their agenda of enslavement.
They even blocked the Truth and facts presented by the two Doctors.
Just another staged Dog & Pony show for the benefit of their collectivist enrichment and our enslavement.
It’s very easy to see who the communist enemies of Truth and Freedom are.
They are the ones who should be hanging from the necks in OUR Public Squares…
and broadcast on international TV for all to see.
What happened to the five minutes that each witness was to get at the end? Why did the chairwoman only ask two witnesses for comments about proposed laws? Dr. Hupp offered several comments on possible legislation during her testimony. Where were the Republican Senators besides Senator Lee? If Senator Lee is the chairman of the committee, why was the Vice Chair running the meeting? I understand that CDC has not been restricted by the Dickey Amendment from researching gun violence, but from promoting gun control issues, but it is constantly asserted that the CDC has been prohibited.
Mr. Skaggs is happy to lie through his teeth and the members won’t allow Dr. Lott to respond until the very end when Mr, Lee grants his time to do so. Why did the Obama administration cherry pick the data? Only one answer comes to mind: They wanted the results to be predetermined. That is not research, that propaganda. Too bad you can’t just say false information is a lie. Many of the short videos of CPRC are shared. Carry on the good work.
