When a "ban prohibits government spending on gun control advocacy" that is NOT a "ban on funding gun research".
Those two issues are NOT the same.
They are DIFFERENT.

For example, advocacy: 'public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy';
however, research: 'the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions'; these terms have completely non-similar definitions. They are distinctly unalike, contrastive, divergent and even disparate.



Now about this source to which you've linked, apparently there are some other interesting articles:
