The Chicago-based Joyce Foundation, which lists gun violence as one of its six priority issues, chooses not to take sides in the debate over gun control."
How anyone could say that with a straight face is beyond me.
"What we are in favor of," spokesman Charlie Boesel said, "is a reduction in gun violence."The foundation offers grant money to groups looking to study the problem or with ideas on how to address it.
Uh huh, sure. Which is why they fund ONLY groups and papers that call for more bans and restrictions as well as denying contrary points to be presented at their 'symposiums'.
Another fabrication in the article:
Currently, several hand-gun bills are under consideration in the state legislature. One, for instance, mandates background checks in private gun sales, which currently don't require them.
That's what the FOID card is. Unless of course the Illinois State Police are failing in their duty as required by law to revoke those of people no longer eligible.
Then we have the Joyce Funded ICPGV selectively leaving out information on their e-mail alerts in order to distort facts. On HB-182 which was signed the other day:
a bill which would allow individuals to carry concealed weapons into other people's homesWhat words did they leave out? "With Permission". Kind of an important distinction, don't you think? But that's the way the Joyce's want to solve 'gun violence', by not telling the truth.

Obama's Joyce Foundation pisses in our faces and tells us it's raining, while doing everything they can to march us down the road to totalitarianism, where people of their ilk would have absolute power over us. Can I say "no" to that?
Does the Juice Foundation receive federal (taxpayer) money?
If so, can they be sued by the likes of the NRA & GOA for not following its own charter?
"The Chicago-based Joyce Foundation, which lists gun violence as one of its six priority issues, chooses not to take sides in the debate over gun control."
After all, IF (and that's a big IF) we are to believe this spokeshole's own words:
"What we are in favor of," spokesman Charlie Boesel said, "is a reduction in gun violence."The foundation offers grant money to groups looking to study the problem or with ideas on how to address it."
Then they should be giving money with both hands to the likes of the NRA and GOA. Haven't seen or heard of any such thing happening yet.
It may be a fantasy, but it's MY fantasy.

Oh? Care to address this, Charlie?
But the Joyce Foundation in 1999 awarded $84,000 to the Chicago-Kent College of Law for a symposium on the theory that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual’s right to bear arms, but rather only a state’s right to arm its militia.
“No effort was made to include the individual right point of view,” its organizer, Carl T. Bogus, a Roger Williams University School of Law professor, wrote in one of several law review articles stemming from the symposium. “Full and robust public debate is not always best served by having all viewpoints represented in every symposium. Sometimes one point of view requires greater illumination.”
I, for one, would like to see an increase in THIS sort of gun violence:
