An editorial is presented which addresses the authors' views about the potential impact that funding for firearm (gun) violence research might have on the health and safety of America as of 2018, and it mentions how more than 500,000 U.S. civilians were killed by firearms over the past two decades. Mass shootings and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's annual budget are examined, along with the American Dickey Amendment involving gun control and research financing.
