Sugarmann needs to talk to the Brady Bunch

When it comes to talking about using tragedies to make some cash. He states:

"What this shows is that to the gun industry, gun violence is at best an abstract concept and at worst a business opportunity," said Josh Sugarmann, the Executive Director of the Violence Policy Center.

Kind of like the E-mail the Brady's sent out w/ multiple links to donate while chanting "32, VT, 32, VT". Kind of like the same e-mail they sent out the DAY OF VT asking for $32 to combat the NRA?

It's funny that Petey Hamm claims that Thompson is "arming criminals" when the said criminals followed ALL the Brady Endorsed laws. All of them except for the "Gun Free Zones" that is. The ones that enabled the shooters to commit their crimes w/o any chance of the students to defend themselves.

That said, Thompson needs to STFU. While giving talks is fine, in his situation he needs to NOT pull any publicity stunts like this as all he's doing is giving proverbial ammo to the gun banners.
