Studies with a predetermined outcome aren't science and of course I wouldn't support that.

You probably would not support a study sponsored by the NRA. I feel the same about many of the studies you would support.

There is zero issue with the NRA funding research. It just needs to be disclosed that they funded it, and you would find people scrutinizing the methods heavily because of their inherent bias. Same for Moms Demand Action.

Not so much for the CDC.

so an organization that depends on political funding is above influence?

Sure worked for the FBI.

Do you think our major, federal research groups change their opinions with each administration?

Taking cynical to another level, by suggesting all federally funded research is influenced by politics, due to it being funded by federal funds.
