House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has come up empty in her efforts to eliminate a budget rider that has halted nearly all government research into gun violence for 17 years.

The trillion-dollar spending bill unveiled early Wednesday morning keeps in place the controversial amendment, which Pelosi had told gun control groups was a “priority” in the budget talks. It is on page 936 of the 2,009-page bill.

The Omnibus still sucks, but at least Paul Ryan didn't cave on the CDC Gun Control research ban.

How did Obama get the CDC to commission his Executive Order gun ban research project from 2013? It was the first item on his list of gun-banning EOs.
