Guns for Felons: How the NRA Works to Rearm Criminals http://www.vpc.org/newest.htm
The VPC today released Guns for Felons: How the NRA Works to Rearm Criminals. The 17-page study details the ways in
which the NRA has helped make guns available to convicted felons through the federal "relief from disability" program. The
study was released at an 11:00 AM press conference with: VPC Director of Federal Policy Kristen Rand; Senator Charles
Schumer (D-NY); Representative John Conyers (D-MI), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee; U.S. Representative
Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY); and, Handgun Control, Inc. President Mike Barnes. New legislation entitled ENFORCE—Effective
National Firearms Objectives for Responsible, Common-sense Enforcement Act—introduced at the news conference would
shut down the National Rifle Association-backed guns-for-felons program once and for all.
"The `relief from disability' program has allowed thousands of convicted, often violent, felons to obtain guns—including
terrorists, murderers, and rapists. By documenting how the NRA has not only defended, but expanded, this program to include
gun criminals, this study exposes the NRA's rhetoric about keeping guns out of criminal hands as hollow and just plain false,"
said the VPC's Rand.
