CDC releases banned gun violence study?

CDC releases banned gun violence study? June 21, 2016

What am I missing?   So I see this story pop up, about the results of a CDC study on gun violence.  It’s a conservative site, so the emphasis is on how helpful guns are for deterring crime.  There are some other tidbits touched upon.  Basically not much folks who have followed the issue haven’t already heard.

At the same time, I Googled ‘CDC study on gun violence’ to find corroborating articles, and came up with a string of sites and articles decrying a ban on CDC studies of gun violence.  The one here was just written 10 hours ago.  Am I missing something?  They’re saying something that just got published was banned.  Is this a different study?  When they say CDC study, do they mean a different CDC?  Was this not complete enough?

There is so much hyper-partisanship today, so much Super-Narrative jockeying, that it’s difficult to tell even something this simple.  What is this study if the CDC study has been banned?  Much less trying to make sense of it.
