The Violence Policy Center is a Merchant of Death

I know, I'm late to the party on this issue:

Josh Sugarmann, head of Violence Policy Center, has a Federal Firearm Dealer's license. The business address is VPC's headquarters in D.C.

Add to that Uncle's questions:

Are they in the business of selling firearms? If not, that usually warrants a knock on the door from ATF.

Is having an FFL in DC legal? Do they comply with local zoning and business ordinances? If not, that usually warrants a knock on the door from ATF.

Do they have business hours posted?

Inquiring minds want to know. Someone should ask them. Or the ATF.

You see, if someone has a Federal Firearms License, they have to be selling firearms. These licenses aren't handed out willy-nilly. Or are they?

Thirdpower says it best:

Think I'll place an order....
to be shipped to my local FFL.

*Ring, Ring *

VPC office: Hello, Violence Policy Center.
Me: Hi, I was wondering what firearms you have in stock. I'ld like to buy one.
VPC flunky: What!? We don't sell firearms here. They're scary!

Read the whole thing, it's hilarious.

Even better if he really did call them.
