So I’ve been going over the footnotes for the page referenced here.
Mike W. noted that the group is indeed a Joyce Foundation funded group, doesn’t suprise me, nor should it have suprised me that I found several of their “Facts” were “Supported” by VPC studies (who are also Joyce Foundation Funded)
Just read through them some of the data is US Government data which is actually pretty good, tho they only focus on “Gun Death” to make the data somehow seem relevant to their cause. Doing searches on the names of most of the private study authors tho finds that the vast Majority of them wrote their reports thanks to Joyce Foundation grant money. People like David Hemenway, Garen J. Wintemute, Susan B. Sorenson, and Linda E. Saltzman. After finding so many of their studies were funded by the very group writing the report referencing the study I got bored.
But Essentially The Joyce Foundation funds unscrupulous researchers to violate basic ethics to cook up a “Study” that supports gun control. Then the Joyce Foundation funds multiple “Grass Roots Groups” that then turn around and write reports that reference the very studies their parent organization funded as “Support”.
Pretty impressive when the only people who support you are being paid by the same people who sign your paycheck….
