UNFORGIVABLE: Tax Dollars Used to Fund Gun Control, DOGE Receipts Show

Let’s make tarring and feathering great again!

Bloomberg and Soros didn’t even bother digging into their own wallets–isn’t that neat?

Those two are among the bigger names arrayed against the Second Amendment, and they’re also among the wealthiest. They’ve been funding anti-gun groups and politicians for decades … or have they? It seems that infringing on our rights just wasn’t enough for them. They needed to make us pay for it, too. And the Biden administration was only too happy to do so, with both official and “back-channel” support via USAID. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has all the receipts, and they’re all below.

But of course, the fact that taxpayer money was used to infringe on the Second Amendment isn’t the end of the malfeasance. Multiple millions of dollars went to prop up left-wing, anti-gun publications like Politico, too. All Politico needed to do to keep that $8 million a year flowing was to repeat the administration’s talking points word for word. Same with Axios, the Associated Press, Reuters … essentially, if that news outlet refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story before Hunter went to trial, that news outlet was on the take.

Of course, those same press sources are screaming that those were subscriptions, not subsidies … to which I reply, what magazine is so informative that it’s worth $12,000 a year per reader? Especially when the source of the facts in that magazine is the reader himself? (After all, the government agencies that were signed up for all of these “subscriptions” are the ones who would provide the information!)

Unlawful. Unforgivable. Unredeemable. But sadly, all too believable.

Suspicions Confirmed. Taxpayer Dollars Funded Gun Control

By Larry Keane

Gun owners are getting exactly what they voted for with President Donald Trump. There’s an accounting for government malfeasance. He’s turned up the receipts.

President Trump is delivering on his promise to break open the secretive spending habits of government officials. It is 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.

That’s right. Gun control advocates were using taxpayer dollars to fund their campaign to rob Americans of their Constitutionally-protected rights to keep and bear arms. That’s insult to injury after the Biden-Harris administration installed a taxpayer-funded office dedicated 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. This office effectively closed up in the days leading up to President Trump taking office as the staff all resigned.

Turns out, the billions of Bloomberg bucks, or money from George and Alexander Soros, weren’t enough for gun control advocates. They wanted the effort to cut off Second Amendment rights to come straight from Americans’ wallets – including those tax dollars paid by gun owners themselves.

Lee Williams uncovered it, in a post to Shooting News Weekly, of what many have suspected for years. Except it was covered up in layers of bureaucracy, farmed out as “grants” through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). That’s the federal agency that’s drawn the first and damning examination by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The Receipts

Williams’ deep dive into USAID money showed that Bloomberg’s 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 NEO Philanthropy, which also funneled money to support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs too.

The flow chart of money laundering is a labyrinth of middlemen, which reports that no tax dollars are spent. But that’s not true. A little digging shows that nearly $7.5 million were funneled to Bloomberg’s Everytown, mostly through donations paid to NEO Philanthropy, including $245,000 from the Board of Trustees of the Lelan, $150,000 from the Tides Center (a George Soros organization), $12,000 from Civicus World Alliance, $300,000 from the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and a whopping $6,748,000 from Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund.

The maze of money shuffling is being mapped out by DataRepublican.com. That site offers tools to track how tax dollars moved to gun control groups. That includes the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which took in $12,809,748 in contributions, which started with the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening reporting $186,143739 in taxpayer funds that was moved through many as five layers of “charities” to fund their efforts. Bloomberg’s March for Our Lives, showed $1,407,153 in donations that started with $165,142,739 in taxpayer funds. Sandy Hook Promise, a Connecticut-based gun control group, reported $1,417 049 us taxpayer funds in their coffers, according to DataRepublican.com. Everytown’s mapping shows $31,802,725 in contributions with $4,963,214 in grants. DataRepublican.com shows Giffords with $8,292,189 in contributions, that started with the same Consortium for Election and Political Process Strengthening tax dollars, moving through, again, at least five layers of charities.

Look Who’s Talking

This unmasking of citizens’ tax dollars being put to work against their Constitutional rights is raising the ire of those who – surprise, surprise – want to use more tax dollars to swipe away Second Amendment rights. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) claims President Trump’s efforts to bring accountability to taxpayer expenditures is “attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes,” according to The Hill. U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said “This illegal, unconstitutional interference with congressional power is threatening lives all over the world,” according to another report in The Hill.

Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Those politicians crowing about the secretive manipulation of tax dollars against the interests – and the very rights protected by the Constitution – 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, “none 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.” NSSF reported in 2022 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.

A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s 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.

To pull another line from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” Or in this case – Washington, D.C.
