A gun study was done during Weasel Willy's administration. When the results failed to show that guns + students = apocalypse, the study was buried.
Of course, politicians never pass up an opportunity to piss away tax dollars, they'll keep commissioning studies until one gives them the results they want to hear.
And people wonder why the country is broke (and broken).

Wrong! There was a study by the CDC in 1993, it showed a definite, much greater risk connected with bringing a gun into a home. In 1995 the NRA pushed Congress to stop the CDC from doing any further research, that resulted in passing the Dickey Amendment in 1996. No research has been allowed to be funded since then.
So, have no f'ing idea what research you think failed to show a connection during Clinton's term in office. The amendment was specifically passed to prevent any research form being done that might confirm what the first study showed and in different environments.
