Gun control groups have been extorting the biggest financial industry players for years. Evidently, Wells Fargo doesn’t realize that nothing good ever comes from negotiating with terrorists.
At a time when the NRA is on its knees financially, the richest individuals and biggest companies are throwing millions of dollars to the anti-gun lobby like their trip to Heaven counts on it. Yes, that’s what Michael Bloomberg actually said in an interview not long ago, however ridiculous.
I’m not sure where they get off thinking that God wants good people to die helplessly at the hands of evil.
The Crime Prevention Research Center reports, “Trisha Schultz, a Wells Fargo spokeswoman, said in a statement that the bank planned to invest more than $10 million over three years in studying gun-violence prevention and in improving school safety. The bank, she said, has “a small and declining relationship with the NRA.”
Like all of the others, Wells Fargo is committing to give millions of dollars to fund anti-gun junk science. These are bought-and-paid-for academics from the most leftist universities who always start with a conclusion they want to reach.
They use any information they can find to support the conclusion and conveniently ignore any information that does not. They call it “research” and feed it to the sympathetic media that regurgitates it to the public without any critical thought. They give true scientists a bad name.
This “gun violence research” never studies all of the positive effects of good people owning and carrying guns for self-defense. It is entirely one-sided – guns are evil, they only serve one terrible purpose, and they must be eliminated from any civilized society.
Of course, this money will never go to researching the real, complex societal issues that create environments where violence thrives. In 2014, 54% of U.S. counties experienced no homicides whatsoever. These are the same rural counties that have the highest per capita gun ownership rates. It’s not the guns, stupid.
Yea, it’s too hard to try to pursue real solutions. Got it. The blame game is easy. What are they going to do when the guns are banned and the young people in the cities continue to be killed?
