It wasn't just the NRA that campaigned against CDC funding for their "Gun Control" agenda

DRGO’s 1996 Congressional Testimony: Defunding Gun Control Politics at the CDC – Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership:
 Recently I’ve written a lot about when an internal medicine specialist, a neurosurgeon, and I testified before the House Appropriations Committee recommending that Congress refuse to pay for gun control-motivated junk science.  We had all independently become aware of and alarmed by the trend of medical journals and societies using their prestige to generate results-oriented research articles that all carried the same message—guns are like virus, and owning them is a disease.
People have been complaining lately, on the Internet, that CDC has been forbidden funding for their politically motivated campaign against Civilian Firearms Ownership.

This document provides a wider viewpoint.

The NRA may have been the most public complainant against the CDC using public funding to promote their political bias, but other governmental agencies were aware of, and campaigned, against CDC's anti-gun agenda.

It's worth the read.

Oh, wait!  While you're at it, you might also want to read THIS commentary on DRGO's efforts to stem California's "Junk Science" measures.
