The previous article examined how Violence Policy Center (VPC) had to downsize in recent years in order to survive, due to significant decreases in “direct public support.” Because VPC has no public membership revenues, the term “direct public support” is misleading.

So has anyone tried to get the Joyce foundations tax exempt status revoked? That would be an interesting fight back :)
The VPC and the Joyce Foundation are lacking the integrity honor of a lowly crackhead. They lie and cheat and bring moral attacking lies that can only end in disarming every American. They have the reasons to do what they do (for the children). But is detroying are childrens right to keep and bear arms what they should be doing? I wonder if they are that foolish or if they are working this angle for a bigger reason?
Very illuminating series of articles.
So, VPC is not funded by any significant number of ordinary people, but is merely a cut-out for the Joyce Foundation.
I maintain the Wikipedia page on the Joyce Foundation. It has a useful mind map diagram to illustrate the far reaches of the Joyce Foundation:
