The Gun Control Laundering Scam
We hear from time to time “Wayne La’pierre makes a million kajillion dollars off of the death machine gun manufacturers”. Of course it’s a fact that the NRA receives less than 15% of its hundreds of millions in resources from ‘gun manufacturers’ and those manufacturers themselves are supported by firearm owners throughout the nation. The NRA also has 4-5 million dues paying members. LaPierre makes a bit under $1m.
Now let’s take a look at some of the anti-gun group’s compensation packages. Note that most of these are shoe-box operations run out of tiny offices the size of my den or PO boxes. Most are heavily, if not primarily, funded by Bloomberg, the Joyce Foundation, and/or Soros.
The classic ‘Violence Policy Center’, Josh Sugarmann and Kristen Rand: $300k/year
Ceasefire PA, Shira Goodman :$$100,575
Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV): Josh Horwitz: $125,000
Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence, Colleen Daley: $110,750
MomsRising Education Fund
Kristin Roowe-Finkbeiner (president) $154,000
Julie Hanamura (treasurer): $115,000
Brady Campaign:
Dan Gross; $400,000
The 8 other execs rake in nearly $950,000 combined, not including what Sarah Brady was getting (another $100k+)
Now in comparison, let’s take a look at a couple of pro-rights groups:
Illinois State Rifle Assoc: Richard Pearson ; $87,000 (an organization w/ 15-20,000 actual members and multiple facilities.)
Virginia Citizens Defense League, Phillip Van Cleave ; $61,800
Second Amendment Foundation (funds similar to Brady Campaign)
Joe Tartaro; $28,471
Alan Gottlieb; $43, 602
The anti-groups spend on average roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of their income on Exec salaries alone. What a racket.

Brady Campaign: Failure Followed By Libel?
Danny boy's getting really unhinged in this holiday season.
Wayne’s World is filled to the brim with armed vigilantes and every person - no matter how dangerous - has access to a gun. In Wayne's world, even kids can be sent off to school with a full lunchbox and a loaded Glock. And because of the NRA's youth-focused marketing, they'll already know how to use it.As we keep asking, if their case is so strong.... why lie?

Brady Campaign: Celebrating Failure
So the latest Brady email begging for money. This one from the 'Million Mom March' representative, you remember, that group that was a one hit wonder over 16 years ago and then folded into the Brady bunch while under investigation for tax fraud.
You put in more than 150,000 calls to Congress. That spurred Senator Chris Murphy's history-making filibuster in the Senate to support expanding Brady background checks to all gun sales
Which failed
Congressman John Lewis's historic sit-in in the House
Which turned into a laughing stock as it was revealed they were offered pillows, blankets, catered meals, and took shifts while lamenting how hard they had it.
We supported the first Presidential candidate in history to run on a gun violence prevention platform
Who lost. To a Cheeto.
the Brady Center capped off a successful year with a historic settlement in a case against an irresponsible gun dealer.
No mention of that whole 'Lucky Gunner' case where they left the (Brady Campaign employed) litigants holding the bag for $200K in legal fees. One 'victory' out of the whole 'successful' year.
Yeah.
Celebrating failure.
This year alone, Brady Campaign advocates created monumental change and action at a time when Americans needed it most. You put in more than 150,000 calls to Congress. That spurred Senator Chris Murphy's history-making filibuster in the Senate to support expanding Brady background checks to all gun sales and Congressman John Lewis's historic sit-in in the House. We supported the first Presidential candidate in history to run on a gun violence prevention platform. And, just last month, the Brady Center capped off a successful year with a historic settlement in a case against an irresponsible gun dealer. This is all because of you!Let's break this down, shall we?
