Once anti-gun billionaires Laura and John Arnold sent another check to the RAND Corporation for its annual report, "The Science of Gun Policy," there was little doubt about what RAND researchers would find, since the Arnolds pay all the bills.

The annual report is part of a larger anti-gun initiative, which RAND has labeled "Guns in America."

Before 2018, RAND funded the entire initiative themselves, through "unrestricted gifts from RAND supporters and income from operations."

After 2018, however, the Arnolds pay for all of it through their left-wing philanthropy foundation called Arnold Ventures.

And for the fifth year in a row, the billionaire couple certainly got what they paid for.

Six RAND researchers needed more than 440 pages to claim that guns are bad, and that more anti-gun laws are needed.
