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 wouldnt we want to acknowledge the good that the Joyce Foundation is doing  I dont 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 dont consider this to be undue weight  I consider it to be credit where credit is due  In the land of the blind the oneeyed man is King  The Joyce Foundation is trying to do good  They should get the credit for this in this article
