All Quiet on the 2nd Amendment Front

The Brady Campaign sent me an email this morning to let me know who they're endorsing for tomorrow's mid-term elections.  I have to say, the list is pretty thin .  This could be due to the fact that they only have $5,661 in cash to spend this cycle. Mayors Against Illegal guns gave $150,000 to the Raben Group to spend on something , though I don't know what.  Founder Robert Raben also sits on the board of directors of the Alliance for Justice , a group that represents several progressive political causes, but doesn't seem involved in gun control. Josh Sugarmann's Violence Policy Center currently shows a balance of zero .  That's a bit odd, since the Joyce Foundation has pumped roughly $2.1 million into various other groups under the ostensible heading of "Gun Violence."  Still, that money appears to be targeted towards university and community research programs, rather than towards political endorsements.
