1) you just acknowled NRA has fought against the CDC conducting and then acknowled CDC where conducting research. Which means you acknowledged the NRA was fighting research. You may feel it was biased or that the NRA was in the right or whatnot, but that's a completely separate point that I really don't care about. NRA's job is to support a viewpoint so that's what they are going to do.

Um... okay. Whether or not the research is biased doesn't matter to you? That's an interesting position. Of what acutal value is biased research?
>NRA's job is to support a viewpoint so that's what they are going to do.
Yes, and the point was that's not the CDC's job. The day we start supporting the NRA with tax dollars is the day we can hold them up to the same scrutiny.
I really can't get worked up over 0.00006% of the federal budget. That's into fractions of a penny of my annual tax bill.
Anyway, the CDC's job is promote public health and they have an office of public policy so advocacy really does fall under their mandate as required by law. Ed: As does Saw Blade Guards oddly enough. Now, you can disagree with that mandate, but nobody was blowing public money on hookers and blow or something.
