This is not a fair summary. The NRA lobbied Congress in the 1990s, and Congress reduced the CDC budget by the amount that had been used to study gun related deaths. This resulted in the CDC no longer funding research relating guns to deaths. Congress has specifically rejected amendments that would allow such work. The research that was de-funded was peer reviewed and appeared in the NEJM. https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-07-02/quietly-congress-extends-ban-cdc-research-gun-violence https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-07-02/quietly-congress-exte...
