Details about the Joyce Foundation and funding of gun control advocacy groups, research, and Second Amendment "scholarship." Gun control advocacy groups that are described in the media as grassroots, research that is reported as authoritative in the media but is not identified as coming from a bought and paid for gun control advocacy group, and scholarship that is again bought and paid for gun control advocacy.

Imagine if the Gun Manufacturers through the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) or the NRA were funding journalists to write news stories or academics to produce research, how that would be reported in the press?

Would the overarching funding of gun advocacy in news and research be a story and how would it be reported?
