Yeah, pretty much. But of course, they deny culpability because "It's not like we pulled the trigger" or some other limp-wrist bullshit excuse.

If gun lobbyists hadn't pushed for a ban on the CDC studying gun violence under the pretense that the data would be construed as advocating for gun control, maybe some of those kids at Uvalde, or Sandy Hook, or any of the other hundreds if not thousands of school shootings over the last 20+ years might still be alive today.
