When Money From Anti-Gun Billionaires Wasn\u2019t Enough, Gun Control Orgs Went After Taxpayer Dollars.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gun owners are getting exactly what they voted for with President Donald Trump. There\u2019s now an accounting for government malfeasance in process and he\u2019s turned up the receipts.<\/p>\n

President Trump is delivering on his promise to break open the secretive spending habits of government officials. It\u2019s exactly what voters wanted and, frankly, expected. The results, however, have been jaw-dropping. Gun control proponents have been smashing open the government piggy bank to swipe dollars for their pet gun control projects.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. Gun control advocates were using taxpayer dollars to fund their campaigns to rob Americans of their Constitutionally-protected rights to keep and bear arms. That\u2019s adding insult to injury after the Biden-Harris administration installed a\u00a0taxpayer-funded office<\/a>\u00a0dedicated to pushing gun control. It was staffed by a former lobbyist for Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun control group funded by antigun billionaire Michael Bloomberg. That office effectively closed up in the days leading up to President Trump taking office as its staff all resigned.<\/p>\n

It turns out, though, that billions of Bloomberg bucks and even more money from George and Alexander Soros weren\u2019t enough for gun control advocates. They wanted to fund the effort to cut off Second Amendment rights straight from Americans\u2019 wallets \u2013 including tax dollars paid by gun owners themselves.<\/p>\n

Lee Williams uncovered, in a post to\u00a0Shooting News Weekly<\/a><\/strong>, what many have suspected for years. Except it had been covered up in layers of bureaucracy and farmed out as \u201cgrants\u201d through the U.S. Agency for International Development. That\u2019s the federal agency that\u2019s drawn the first and\u00a0damning examination<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by Elon Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Receipts<\/h5>\n

Williams\u2019 deep dive into USAID money showed that Bloomberg\u2019s Everytown for Gun Safety, along with Giffords Courage to Fight Gun Violence, were primary beneficiaries of tax dollars to fund their gun control efforts. That money was funneled through something called\u00a0NEO Philanthropy<\/a><\/strong>, which also funneled money to support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.<\/p>\n

The flow chart of money laundering operation is a labyrinth of middlemen, which reports that no tax dollars were spent. But that\u2019s not true. A little digging shows that nearly $7.5 million were funneled to Bloomberg\u2019s Everytown, mostly through donations paid to NEO Philanthropy, including $245,000 from the\u00a0The Board Of Trustees Of The Leland Stanford Junior University<\/a><\/strong>, $150,000 from the\u00a0Tides Center<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(a George Soros organization), $12,000 from\u00a0Civicus World Alliance<\/a><\/strong>, $300,000 from the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and a whopping $6,748,000 from Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund.<\/p>\n

This maze of money shuffling is being mapped out by\u00a0DataRepublican.com<\/a><\/strong>. That site offers tools to track how tax dollars have been moved to gun control groups. That includes the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which took in\u00a0$12,809,748 in contributions<\/a><\/strong>, which started with the\u00a0Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0reporting $186,143739 in taxpayer funds that was moved through many as five layers of \u201ccharities\u201d to fund their efforts. Bloomberg\u2019s March for Our Lives, showed\u00a0$1,407,153 in donations<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that started with $165,142,739 in taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n

Sandy Hook Promise, a Connecticut-based gun control group, reported\u00a0$1,417 049 us taxpayer funds in their coffers<\/a><\/strong>, according to DataRepublican.com. Everytown\u2019s mapping shows\u00a0$31,802,725 in contributions<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with $4,963,214 in grants. DataRepublican.com shows Giffords with\u00a0$8,292,189 in contributions<\/a><\/strong>, that started with the same Consortium for Election and Political Process Strengthening tax dollars, moving through, again, at least five layers of charities.<\/p>\n

Look Who\u2019s Talking<\/h5>\n

This unmasking of citizens\u2019 tax dollars being put to work against their constitutional rights is raising the ire of those who \u2013 surprise, surprise \u2013 want to use more tax dollars to further limit Second Amendment rights. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) claims President Trump\u2019s efforts to bring accountability to taxpayer expenditures is \u201cattempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes,\u201d\u00a0according to The Hill<\/a><\/strong>. U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said \u201cThis illegal, unconstitutional interference with congressional power is threatening lives all over the world,\u201d according to\u00a0another report in The Hill<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, \u201cThe lady doth protest too much, methinks.\u201d Those politicians crowing about the secretive manipulation of tax dollars against the interests \u2013 and the very rights protected by the Constitution \u2013 should be a five-alarm bell for taxpayers, not just gun owners. It might also pull back the veil of why these same lawmakers rail against the Dickey Amendment that states, \u201cnone of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.\u201d NSSF\u00a0reported in 2022<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>that an investigative report by The Reload showed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was likely violating that law as recently as then.<\/p>\n

A federal judge\u00a0temporarily blocked<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Elon Musk\u2019s DOGE from accessing government systems to dig up the wasteful and damaging money laundering of tax dollars after 19 Democratic state attorneys general, led by gun control advocate New York State Attorney General Letitia James, sued.<\/p>\n

To pull another line from Shakespeare\u2019s Hamlet, \u201cSomething is rotten in the state of Denmark.\u201d Or in this case \u2013 Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
