  :Primarily because The Joyce Foundation is the elephant in the room for funding gun violence prevention. In an arena where the total amount spent on gun violence prevention is not much bigger than what The Joyce Foundation personally invests, and this one organization is responsible for funding a majority of gun violence prevention programs and research worldwide, why wouldn't we want to acknowledge the good that the Joyce Foundation is doing?  I don't see the problem.  Meanwhile, are they attracting some criticisms from the NRA and similar organizations?  Sure.  But, what is wrong with acknowledging the good they are doing?  I don't consider this to be undue weight.  I consider it to be credit where credit is due.  In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King!  The Joyce Foundation is trying to do good.  They should get the credit for this in this article!
