Been after this one for quite a while, but when it showed up, it always used to be so expensive. Like over €100 easily for a nice copy.
This version included all the downloadable packs which have long been delisted.

Exclusive: The #Trump admin has terminated more than half of all federal #funding for #GunViolence prevention
programs in the #US, cutting $158 million in grants that had been directed to groups in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, & Baltimore.
Of the 145 community violence intervention (#CVI) grants totaling >$300 million awarded through the #DOJ, 69 grants were abruptly terminated in April….

The elimination of #CVI programs is part of a broader rollback at the department's grant-issuing Office of Justice Programs, which terminated 365 #grants valued at $811 million in April, impacting a range of #PublicSafety & victim services programs.
A #DOJ official told Reuters the #GunViolence grants were eliminated because they "no longer effectuate the program's goals or agency's priorities."
#Trump #law #guns #GunControl #USpol
Court Cantrell prefers not to reshared this.
…The majority of #CVI grants were originally funded through the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act & part of a push by President Joe Biden to stem the rise of #GunViolence in the #US, including establishing the first White House Office for Gun Violence Prevention.
That office was "dismantled on day one" of #Trump taking office, said fmr deputy director of the office, Greg Jackson.
#law #guns #GunControl #USpol
Court Cantrell prefers not to reshared this.
Prior to the #Biden #funding, most #GunViolence prevention programs were funded on the #state level.
"These programs 5 years ago, if they did exist, had very small budgets & didn't have large, multimillion-dollar federal investments," said Michael-Sean Spence, director of community safety initiatives at Everytown for Gun Safety, which has worked with 136 community-based violence intervention organizations since 2019. 25 of the groups were impacted by funding cuts.
#Trump #law #guns #GunControl
The #grants supported a wide range of #CVI programming to prevent #shootings such as training outreach teams to de-escalate & mediate conflict, social workers to connect people to services & employment, & hospital-based programs for #GunViolence victims.
"[It's] preventing them from doing the work in service of those that need it the most at the most urgent, & deadliest time of the year," Spence said, referring to summer months when there's typically an uptick in shootings.
#GunViolence deaths in the #US grew more than 50% from 2015 to the pandemic-era peak of 21,383 in 2021, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Since then, deadly #shootings have been in decline, falling to 16,725 in 2024, which is more in line with the pre-pandemic trend. As of May 2025, deaths are down 866 from the same period last year.
#Trump #law #guns #GunControl #USpol
While cities like New York City, Chicago & Los Angeles received the bulk of #GunViolence prevention funding, southern cities like Memphis, Selma, Alabama & Baton Rouge, Louisiana also received millions & were more reliant on the #grants due to limited state support for the programs, experts told Reuters.
#Trump #law #guns #GunControl #USpol
"Very few state legislatures are passing #funding right now, that's why the federal cuts were such a tragic hit," said Amber Goodwin, co-founder of Community Violence Legal Network, who's part of a coalition of lawyers working to get #grants reinstated.
…Interviews w/ #legal experts, #GunViolence interventionists, & fmr #DOJ ofcls said funding cuts threaten long-term sustainability of #CVI initiatives that have taken years to establish….
#Trump #law #guns #GunControl #USpol
Pha'Tal Perkins founded Think Outside Da Block in 2016, a nonprofit based in Chicago's violence-plagued Englewood neighborhood. #Federal #funding allowed him to hire full-time staff, but when #grants were stripped, he was forced to lay off 5 team members.
"Being able to have outreach teams at specific places at the right time to have conversations before things get out of hand is what people don't see," Perkins said.
#Trump #law #GunViolence #guns #GunControl #USpol
Aqeela Sherrills, co-founder of Community Based Public Safety Collective in Los Angeles, provided training on implementing violence intervention strategies to nearly 94 grantees, including states, law enforcement agencies, & community-based organizations.
#Trump #law #GunViolence #guns
…In June, a letter signed by 18 law enforcement groups & police chiefs in Louisville, Minneapolis, Tucson & Omaha called on Attorney General #PamBondi to reinstate #funding that has resulted in "measurable & significant reductions in violence & homicides."
"These aren't feel-good programs; they’re lifesaving, law-enforcement-enhancing strategies that work," they wrote.
#Trump #law #GunViolence #guns #GunControl #USpol
He said Columbia's CVI programs focused on preventing retaliatory #shootings that can escalate a neighborhood conflict.
"#PublicSafety really starts in the neighborhood before police get involved. CVI work is very important; we've seen a drastic reduction in violent crime post-COVID & shootings are almost at a 10-year low.”
…Organizations are trying to figure out how to keep the doors open now that #federal money has run dry.
Durell Cowan, exec dir of HEAL 901, a community violence prevention nonprofit in Memphis, received a $1.7 million #CVI grant in Oct 2024.
Cowan's org received $150k in federal funds since the beginning of the year before his grant was canceled. He's had to dip into his personal savings to keep his 14-person staff on payroll, he said.
#Trump #law #GunViolence #guns #GunControl #USpol
Recently, Cowan secured #funding from an out-of-state nonprofit as well as a $125,000 emergency grant from the city. Still, he may be forced to conduct layoffs if #federal government dollars don't start flowing again.
“We shouldn't be pulling from our own personal finances & life insurance policies to cover the cost of #PublicSafety,” he said.

It was one of the standout games of the PS3 launch and really showed what the system was capable of.
I still remember Lee from VGI telling me I needed to buy a PS3.
But I was more than happy with just my Wii, DS and all the retro consoles, so I told him that I was more than okay with playing ExciteTruck on Wii instead.
And looking back at it, I actually had way more fun with ExciteTruck.
Such an underrated gem, which didn't immediately reveal just how brilliant it was.
