Criminals Get Guns Through Flawed System; Educational Fund to Stop
Gun Violence to Hold Forum on Fraudulent Federal Firearms Licenses
To: Assignment Desk, Daybook Editor
Contact: Desmond Riley of The Educational Fund to Stop Gun
Violence, 202-408-7560, ext. 104
News Advisory:
Joined by Reps. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) and Carolyn McCarthy
(D-N.Y.), the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence will host
a forum explaining how fraud and abuse in the distribution of
firearms allow criminals to get guns.
During the panel discussion, clips from the investigative
documentary, "Gunshots" will be shown. This documentary reveals
how one criminal forged a Federal Firearms License and proceeded to
sell hundreds of guns without background checks, many of which were
later used in crime. Also highlighted in the discussion will be
the recent report from the General Accounting Office that focuses
on the same problem.
WHAT:
Panel Discussion on Illegal Firearms Trafficking
WHO:
-- David Rapallo, counsel, House Committee on Government Reform
-- Steve Teret, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of
Public Health, Center for Gun Policy and Research
-- Eric Gorovitz, Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence
WHEN:
Tuesday, July 16
6:30 p.m.
WHERE:
Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

Washington, D.C.
The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence's mission is to stop
gun violence by fostering effective community and national action.
