The past three weeks have been devastating for those advocating gun control for the little people. First Donald Trump took over at the White House, but everyone saw that coming.
Gun grabbers might not have expected Trump to shut down the so-called White House Office of Gun Control or whatever they called it so quickly.
But then came Elon Musk’s autistic whiz kids. They uncovered and shut down billions in wasteful government spending at USAID and other departments. I assure you, none of them saw that coming. The money spigot has effectively been shut down for the major gun control players (and even quite a few minor players).
Yes, even state-level gun control orgs are taking it on the chin. Here’s a panicked email from the Maryland gun control group:
I’m reaching out to you today with an urgent plea for help. The new administration just issued a memo ordering a temporary halt to “all federal financial assistance” that puts Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence Education Fund (MPGVEF) in a dire position. As a small organization leading Maryland’s gun safety work, a significant portion of our 2025 budget relies on Department of Justice funding.
Without these critical dollars, we face the very real threat of losing programs that provide life-changing support to communities across Maryland.
We urgently need you to help us full a critical gap of $138,000 to ensure we can continue:
Supporting children impacted by gun violence through our Baltimore Youth Grief Support Program at Liberty Elementary School.
Driving change through our leadership of the Maryland Violence Prevention Coalition to reduce violence statewide.
Educating Marylanders on gun safety through initiatives like safe storage education, providing free safe storage materials, and conducting firearm risk assessments.If you’ve ever considered donating, now is the time to act. And if you’ve given before – we need your ongoing support now more than ever. Your contribution could make the difference in ensuring these essential programs continue to serve those who need them most.
While I haven’t gotten a similar email from any Illinois groups, my research has shown that the Gun Violence Prevention PAC has not (yet) been identified as the recipient of any of these government “grants” to left-leaning social justice advocacy groups.
Nevertheless, they have been tied to grants from numerous foundations and funds that have enjoyed over $200M in government grants.
At the national level, Mother Jones, another struggling lefty political advocacy website, has given us what has become the new norm from those enjoying jobs paid for directly or indirectly by taxpayer grants or from billionaires. Check out the money paragraph at the end… I’ll chop the blah blah.
It starts great and ends even better. From MJ.

Fight disinformation. Now that’s rich from a hard-left political website that swims in the left’s radical narratives.
By the time Joe Biden became president in January 2021, guns were the top killer of children and teens in America, overtaking car crashes and cancer as the leading cause of death.
Look at that “misinformation” right out of the gate. They want to count adults age 18 & 19 as “children and teens.” Gang bangers shooting one another down in America’s urban cesspools doesn’t mean your kid will die thanks to criminal violence.
“Trump’s priorities couldn’t be more clear. Spoiler: it’s not protecting kids. Gun deaths finally went down last year, and Trump just moved to undo the rules and laws that helped make that happen,” said Natalie Fall, Executive Director of March For Our Lives, in a statement. “He is going to get Americans killed in his thirst for vengeance and eagerness to please the gun lobby and rally armed extremists. Remember the next time that a mass shooting happens, Trump did everything in his power to enable it, not prevent it.”
Thanks Natalie. We know you’re worried about having a job in a few months – or at least getting paid. If the facts and science were on her side, she wouldn’t have to resort to hyperbole to convince people that she’s right.
The golden age of America is coming, so of course the anti-American groups are hysterical. Pray for our President. Democrats tend to resort to violence when they lose.
No NGO, Advocacy Group, Private Foundation, school, charity, etc…etc…etc… should receive Federal Government funding. This is not the purpose of the Federal Government. If these organizations are so critical let them compete in the public arena for funding; these are worthwhile causes? Find yourself a Soros, Bezos, or a shitload of tiny Communists to fund your organization. Bugger off my tax dollars and the printed and borrowed money for which I am paying interest. While all of you are at it, go f&^k yourselves. The Maryland group has such a sterling record look at the reduction of ass clown mayhem in Baltimore. Oh, what…..no? Yes. Gun violence does not exist asshole violence exists. I would donate to a group rounding up assholes from the streets and burying them alive. Org like that I would work for free.
pimp your ****** bullshit on your dime, property, & time. or skdk.
