VPC and Rep. Conyers Call for FTC
Investigation Into the Marketing of Sniper Rifles.
Author/s:
Issue: Oct 9, 2002
WASHINGTON -- The Violence Policy Center (VPC) will join Congressman John
Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, in a
press conference Thursday, October 10, 2002 at12 Noon, calling for an FTC
investigation into the marketing of sniper rifles to criminals.
Representative Conyers issued the following statement in advance of the
press conference:
"If we have learned anything from the recent outbreak of shootings in
Maryland hopefully we have learned that we desperately need to keep sniper
rifles off of the streets and out of the hands of criminals. The mass
marketing of military and military style rifles in what appears to
intentionally appeal to law breakers is an alarming and deadly trend that
has become all to common in our society.
The accuracy, range and power of these weapons presents a grave danger if
used by a determined criminal, terrorist or a deranged gunman, as
evidenced by the shootings in Maryland. Unfortunately, these real hazards
appear to be of little, if any, concern to a few bad apples in the
firearms industry.
It is imperative that we limit the access to these types of weapons to
criminals, not encourage it. I urge the FTC to look long and hard into
this problem."
WHO: Congressman John Conyers, Jr., and Tom Diaz, Violence Policy
Center
WHAT: PRESS CONFERENCE
WHEN: October 10, 2002 @ 12:00pm
WHERE: 2141 Rayburn House Office Building
