Gun-control group secures $350,000 grant

Joyce Foundation is on my long list of anti-gun organization to do a special on KNOW YOUR ENEMIES series of posts that I am planning for the political section, it’s a huge octopus that funds so many anti-gun and anti-Constitutional organizations that are at the heart of our problems in this country.

The state's largest gun control group, CeaseFirePA, is getting a $350,000 grant to strengthen its advocacy efforts statewide.

The Chicago-based Joyce Foundation is granting the organization the money over two years to aid its bid to build a statewide, grass-roots response to gun violence, CeaseFirePA's executive director Joe Grace said.

Although the six-year-old nonprofit group, which focuses on stopping gun violence and access to illegal handguns, is based in Philadelphia, it is making its grant announcement today at Pittsburgh police headquarters to underscore its efforts to work with legislators, police and residents around Pennsylvania.

CeaseFirePA supports laws, such as one defeated by the state House on April 1, requiring gun owners to report to police within 72 hours if their handguns are lost or stolen.

Perhaps Joe Grace felt he had to do it Allegheny County to save face because that’s where the Allegheny County Legislative Chairman Kim Stolfer handed him his hat after the PCN TV gun debate on May 19, 2008.
