From the Dark Side: Violence Policy Center apparently blames 'gun violence' on free enterprise :: 06/17/2011
Violence Policy Center (VPC) executive director Josh Sugarmann would like to convince the public that "militarization" of the gun industry is responsible for gun violence, particularly in Mexico. As National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea points out , Sugarmann goes so far as to dismiss "Project Gunwalker" as "alleged failures" on the part of the Justice Department. Sugarmann, in fact, claims that this "militarization" is "the major force driving criminal cross-border gun trafficking from the U.S. to Mexico." From the Huffington Post :
As the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform prepares to focus Wednesday on alleged failures of the U.S. Justice Department's program to stop gun trafficking to Mexico, a new study by my organization, the Violence Policy Center (VPC)-- The Militarization of the U.S. Civilian Firearms Market -- explores the major force driving criminal cross-border gun trafficking from the U.S. to Mexico: the gun industry's cynical militarization of the U.S. civilian gun market.
