Washington, DC — Following today’s shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee which left four U.S. Marines dead, Violence Policy Center (VPC) Executive Director Josh Sugarmann issued the following statement:

“Another day in America, another mass shooting. While we are still learning the facts behind this latest mass murder, easy access to increasingly lethal firearms is the one factor that is almost constant in these attacks. Lives are lost, families are devastated, and communities are scarred, yet all too often we look for answers while ignoring the very tools that are commonly used to perpetrate these heinous acts. Until this changes, such horrific events are inevitable.”

Comments regarding the irony of the ‘no guns allowed’ sign in the photo ...surrounded by bullet holes at one of the shooting scenes..... have been ‘conspicuous by their absence in media coverage’ of what’s been termed a domestic terror attack.

Josh Sugarmann is more of an enemy of America than this shooter will EVER be.
