He saved me from nothing. I read the article. There is no legislated LAW. Where is your proof of a law?

You can easily look it up yourself. I'll give you a hint: the law has been around for quite a while. It is actually ILLEGAL for the CDC to research gun safety.
But just so you know--I'm not obligated to supply YOU with written proof of anything. I might do so for others, if they ask politely, with the probable exception of Boiler, Tom, and Charles. I would endeavor to supply PROOF to DonDiego or Candy. But any remotely informed person knows what I'm referring to in this case.
You long ago forfeited any right to be talked to as if you were reasonable.
From Wikipedia............The Dickey Amendment.
"While the amendment itself remains, the language in a report accompanying the Omnibus spending bill clarifies that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can indeed conduct research into gun violence, but cannot use government appropriated funds to specifically advocate for gun control."

From wikipedia
The Dickey Amendment is a provision first inserted as a rider into the 1996 United States federal government omnibus spending bill which mandated that "none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may be used to advocate or promote gun control."[1] In the same spending bill, Congress earmarked $2.6 million from the CDC's budget, the exact amount that had previously been allocated to the agency for firearms research the previous year, for traumatic brain injury-related research.[2]
The amendment was lobbied for by the National Rifle Association (NRA), and named after its author Jay Dickey, a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Arkansas.[2] Although the Dickey Amendment did not explicitly ban it, for about two decades the CDC avoided all research on gun violence for fear it would be financially penalized.[3] Congress clarified the law in 2018 to allow for such research, and the FY2020 federal omnibus spending bill earmarked the first funding for it since 1996
Things change.

Yes, Don. The CDC has been starved for funding ever since the Dickey Amendment was passed, and they haven't included gun safety research in their budgets because they feared that the Republicans would use that as a pretext to cut their funding even further.
That fear was realized in 2019 when Congress issued that clarification and Trump immediately moved to slash the CDC's funding. I don't know the extent of the funding allowed for 2020.
Now, let's take a look at the restriction. The funds cannot be used to advocate for gun control. And who decides if that is or isn't being done? Guess. A prospective study on child deaths caused by guns in the home was quashed because Trump or one of his goons--prodded by the NRA, of course--said that such a study would be "prejudicial."
It's obvious that the National Gun Love Association doesn't want Americans to know just how dangerous their substitute penises really are.
