Of course I won't say who the funder is or the organization, but our work is mostly academic with some minor practical applications.
The work I do doesn't really have any application to my life at all, as the issue is only relevant to certain states and Virginia's not one of them. I disagree politically with most of the people who directly benefit from my work, but what they do is important to keeping fairness and accountability in government so overall it's not objectionable (and what very, very little it has to do with the 2A cuts both ways).
Once I get my next paycheck I'm hoping to find a decently priced nickel-plated Beretta 85 Cheetah, PSL, or matte-black FN Hi-Power. A paycheck from a while ago funded a PLR-16 and P-3AT. Thanks [funder]!
