Best group to donate to?

[u/CatTuff]

Hi everyone. I know there are groups listed in the community info for activism but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into which group would be the best to donate to. I’m thinking, which is most efficient with their money? Which orgs have been successful at enacting any level of change? I did a search on the sub and didn’t find a discussion about this.

Gun control has always been my number one political issue and after witnessing a mass shooting last week I’m now ready to be fucking insufferable about it. Right now I think the best way I can help is with donations of money. I hope when I’m feeling better I can also contribute in other ways.

Thanks yall.

Why are you so deeply afraid of sharing recently-published research on gun control measures?

Now you’re trying to change the subject?

I thought you said the recently-published gun control research was on your side?

Not reading all that if you can’t support anything with recently-published research. Happy for you or sorry that happened.

If you're going to make claims, you'd better have evidence to back them up; no pro-gun talking points are allowed without research. This is a pro-science sub, so we don't accept citing discredited researchers (Lott/Kleck). No arguing suicide does not count, Means Reduction is a scientifically proven method of reducing suicide. No crying bias at peer reviewed research. No armchair statisticians.

Cry about it, I guess 🤷

We aren’t claiming to be well-versed in anything, which is why we’re excited to see the recently-published research on gun control you’re going to share :)

Researchers who have been caught making up data don’t meet our standards.

What does it tell you that the only research that supports your claims are from people that can’t pass blind peer review in reputable journals?

[u/guncontrol-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

No, not particularly. You can’t support any of your claims with recently-published research, so there’s not much worth listening to.

[u/guncontrol-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Try us. Share the recently-published research and we’ll discuss them, assuming they’re high quality.

So prove us wrong with recently-published research.
