Sugarmann responds to Chapman

And still can't tell the truth:

Steve Chapman's column ("City misfires on gun violence," Commentary, April 24) leaves the impression that the Violence Policy Center agrees with his opinion that bans on assault weapons can't work. In fact, the VPC strongly believes that an effective, enforceable federal assault weapons ban would prevent future tragedies such as that which befell Starkesia Reed, the 14-year-old Chicago girl who was killed by a spray of gunfire from a Romanian AK-47. The assault rifle used to kill Starkesia Reed was purchased in Indiana in a successful effort to evade Chicago's stronger laws, the clearest reason why we need a strong and effective national ban.

At least he shows he's consistent w/ VPC policies of misleading the public by providing false information on "Assault Weapons".
