Maybe they should change their name

Gun banners

To the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Lobbying

Not a lot of money in bigotry these days. In fact, in 2008, they spent $19 more dollars than they brought in.

Except for the quarter million dollar salary that Paul Helmke pays himself.

"Chief Executive : Paul Helmke, President

The big disparity is partly because they keep forming and re-forming these groups and alliances and coalitions over and over instead of trying to build the ones they have. The Freedom States Alliance is the Gun Guys is the CSGV is the Brady Campaign is the . . . . same few people making ridiculous salaries for a record of failure.

But when they form the new group, the Joyce Foundation or some other money-laundering venture pays them a massive grant. So, for that year, they blitz the media, spend like crazy, buy full-page ads in the New York Times, etc.

But after that, they've got nothing, because they don't have enough supporters to bring in much income relative to their spending habits. They get quieter and quieter . . . until there's a loud BANGING CRASHING MUSIC SOUND as the next solution to gun violence is formed with another million-dollar grant from Joyce.
