Pretty lengthy report which appears to be completely unbiased(????NOT). I didn't read the entire thing but maybe they included a call for larger "NO GUNS ALLOWED" signs for entrances to certain businesses. Wonder who paid for it.

The Great Society is the reason there are so many crimes happening in the cities. Stop paying unwed girls to have babies and the crime rates will decline.

I only made to this part of your excerpt.

“to put in place a federal firearms trafficking and straw purchasing law – neither of which exist today”

That’s news to me/sarc

Yet another case of using the crime ridden inner cities as an excuse to implement more gun control in the entire country.
I've definitely heard this song many time before.

policefoundation.org has board members who were also associated with The Brady Anti Gun group.

More wolves in sheep's clothing.

Nothing new here except the name change.

There should be a Barf Alert attached to this post.

It appears the Police Foundation was created by the Ford Foundation to push “Progressive” policies on police.

It looks far from objective to me, at least without a great deal of study. It was founded in 1970, and doesn’t seen to have any actual police in its organization.

The fact that it lists a survey of less than 50 police chiefs out of thousands, shows it is very selective in who it asks questions of.

That it claims two of the most important federal resources for police are ballistic imaging and gun tracing are red flags. Those two resources hardly ever amount to useful things for police, IMHO.

The other thing that stands out is this report is apparently created in partnership with “Major Cities” police chiefs, which are uniformly far left Democrats.
