I like this section:
The health agency, for example, researched whether adolescents treated for gunshot wounds were more likely to have consumed alcohol and carried a firearm during the period the injury occurred compared with victims of non-gun-related assaults. It took $2.6 million of taxpayers’ money to find out what could have been assumed for free: that teenagers who possess illegal guns, engage in underage drinking and hang out with other ne’er-do-wells are more likely to get shot.
