Even Joyce is smart enough to have never given to Brady. VPC got $500,000 on 12/9/10. CSGV is disguised as Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence and got $125,000 for 12 months on 4/26/11.

Remember, the facts are on our side. Bradys, VPC, and even Joyce rely on BS statistics.

"efficient, cost-effective and time-saving intermediary services"??????

Sounds like the job description for your classic "bag man".

Please remember that HBO is now in the anti-gun game.

While that is true...remember..a lie told loud enough and long enough is soon taken as cast in stone truth.

In what form?

[N6ATF]

Airing documentaries of victim disarmers' lies presented as facts.

Makes me think it'd be a smart move to start one of these organizations. Society for the Prevention of Firearm Injuries and use the funding to teach safe gun handling etc.

Or has this already been done?

A cursory read of their board, advisors, and staff indicate an environmental slant. Lead ammo and range EIRs, anyone?

That's the impression I'm getting too. Not familiar with the board or staff. Seems like they're a holding fund of some sort. Something to watch.

[spgripside]

Does anyone know anything about New Venture Fund?

What's all this excess wealth doing in the hands of people who tell me that me having it is bad?
