Joyce Foundation at it again

[drillsgt]

Recent Op-Ed by the Joyce Foundation about their new initiative and the 14 million they are putting into it. I'm sure this will result in more "research" that comes out of places like Emory, Hopkins, VPC etc.

But Americans are not more violent than people of other nations. Rather, study after study by researchers at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and elsewhere have shown that easy access to guns is the difference between life and death—in violent disputes, in suicides, in accidents.

Simply put, where there are more guns, there are more deaths. Despite this, we still have not acted.

This goes contrary to what I've read everywhere else I've looked(of course, they are all pro-gun sites)...SO, is it the 'per capita' that makes this statement true? She's obviously choosing the statistics that make her case stronger as everyone does.

Isn't the Joyce Foundation flagpole on Clark Street in CHICAGO?

Chicago where there are no guns but lots of murders? How is the no gun policy of Chicago working out for them?

This page would indicate she's getting the stat by 2 cuts at the stat...

List of countries by firearm-related death rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1) Per Capita
2) "Developed Countries"...

Comparing our homicide rate to Jamaica though. WOW! (3 vs 50) Is Jamaica slang for "chicago"?

How can I donate to them??? I would like to send them a third party personal check for 2 cents. Maybe come up with some sort of campaign to encourage others to do the same?
