Oh. THAT explains it.
Check out the 2005 report:

Not a single word about "guns", "weapons", "violence", etc. But then look at the major donors list on page 14. Top donor? "California Wellness Foundation".
Yup.
OK, y'all know what THAT is, right?
M'kay. For those just tuning in: some years back a major non-profit hospital decided to go for-profit. That meant that a lot of the donated money wasn't eligible to be rolled into the for-profit corporation (now known as HealthNet HMO). Negotiations began with the California government as to how much loot they'd have to kick loose.
Radically liberal politico John Burton headed negotiations. The billions in "excess" were diverted by Burton into Wellness.
Which in turn was chartered as "health related" but in reality was a gigantic neo-commie slush fund for "social change", with a mission statement under the table of "keep California as wingnut Democrat as possible".
Guess who was behind the Million Mom March and related "health connected gun grabbing" at SF General Hospital? Yup. Wellness. "Legal Community Against Violence"? Wellness again.
So now they're turning yet another "health charity" into a gun control front.
But...it's possible the real leadership here doesn't understand what's going on. They are after all running the BS out of Australia rather than San Diego.
So...I'll make some phone calls tomorrow, see if they realize they're being used as a front for gun control and are about to get the wrath of the American gunnie community down on their butts.
They *might* clean house.
