BELLEVUE, WA – A reported new study by two news agencies that asserts more children are dying in gun-related accidents than are actually reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be approached with caution, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
“Forgive our skepticism, but a study that is greeted by a CDC official who acknowledges that his own agency’s data might be unreliable gives us considerable pause,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Add to that the fact that the study reportedly relied on data from the Gun Violence Archive, a group whose title hardly instills a sense of impartiality, is bothersome as well. We call upon this non-profit to disclose its funding sources.
