The CDC became a political arm of the gun control movement in the 90's by manipulation of firearms issues through shady research. Congress prohibited the CDC from spending 'any' money on further research and this is an anti-gun effort to re-institute this untrustworthy approach by allowing taxpayers to fund junk science.
