The machine that promulgates the "big lie" can not function without a pilot. All that is really required is people who are useful, although even idiots could do it.

The latest edition from the machine:

U.S. Ban on Gun Research Continues Despite Deadly Shootings

For nearly two decades, the U.S. government has declined to fund research into gun violence.

Of course, the poster KNOWS that what they posted isn't true. This topic has been debated and proof offered up, and the "ban" talking point destroyed, time and time again.

Actual text of the legislation that the big lie claims "bans" gun violence research:

“None of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.”

The pseudo-religious zealotry with which some of these folks operate, is disturbing.
