The Ultimate In Hypocrisy


It appears that Josh Sugarmann, chief and primary mouthpiece of the Violence Policy Center, has a Federal Firearms Dealer license (FFL). Or maybe it is the VPC itself. Attorney and scholar David Hardy notes that the license is issued to VPC's office headquarters in Washington DC.

Which begs the question, as Mr. Hardy wonders: Does this mean that VPC and Sugarmann are exempt from the very handgun ban they defend?

Of course, one commenter on Mr. Hardy's Of Arms and the Law online journal has come to an interesting conclusion: "Sugarmann is positioning himself to be the first FFL to sell pistols in DC after Heller wins!"
Ah, the power of positive thinking!
