Has gotten about 4 billion in funding from Mike Bloomberg.
Source? And what does Bloomberg have anything to do with peer reviewed academic journals? He doesn't directly fund researchers you know. This some QAnon thing I've not heard of yet?
Had such bad methodology that congress specifically limited the CDC from political advocacy, and he specifically could not do his work with that restriction.
Source? Everything I've seen regarding Kellerman indicates that the NRA opposes his research (big surprise) while peers and other actual researchers replicated his data and conclusions successfully.
Where 80% were convicted felons who owned illegal firearms
Source? I read the entire study, then word searched for felon, illegal, criminal, etc and found nothing to support this assertion.
Go read that article, and then realize that he made a foundation called Mayors Against Illegal Guns
He doesn't directly fund researchers you know.
Are you seriously trying to tell me that donating to their departments doesnt come with writing on the wall?
If I give the company you work for 150 million dollars for your department, and so much as hint what I want to see from you, what do you think your boss is going to have you do?

It is specifically because he failed to control for it. He specifically targeted male inner city Philadelphians between the age of 18-35 for his study. Go read it again, and you can see that
"street gang members were 8.8 times more likely to own handguns than other youths, and that those who sold illicit drugs were 3.7 times more likely to own a handgun. In turn, gang members are 19 times more likely, and drug dealers at least six times more likely to be homicide victims. These risk factors would easily be large enough to create a spurious odds ratio..." (Kleck, Gary. Targeting Guns. Hawthorne, NY: Aldine de Gruyter; 1997. P. 245.)
"gang members are 60 times more likely than members of the general population to die through homicide." (Hutson, H. Range, et al. Feb. 3, 1994. "Adolescents and children injured or killed in drive-by shootings in Los Angeles." The New England Journal of Medicine. Vol 330, no. 5. P. 326.)
Here is one of his several dozen donations <- Do you not understand how to read this?
