The National Tracing Center database is an essential resource for law enforcement. Beyond enabling law enforcement to trace the history of a gun linked to a crime, it helps identify patterns of gun theft and trafficking. And that information can help local law enforcement — like the NYPD — in stopping illegal guns before they're used to commit crimes.
Yet the NYPD — along with every other branch of law enforcement in the nation — is being denied the information needed to get illegal guns off our streets: There is no requirement that stolen guns or guns used to commit crimes be reported to the National Tracing Center database.
As a result, officers can only trace guns after they're used to commit a crime, and are shut off from information about other guns, sold by the same dealer and used in other crimes in other states.[1]
New York Senators Schumer and Clinton recently co-authored this editorial after two NYC policeman were murdered. They claim law enforcement needs more information that would help them eliminate “illegal” guns, which sounds reasonable at first blush. But it is the Senators’ assertion that police need information about “other guns, sold by the same dealer” that raises the warning flag. To understand what really motivates them, read on.
Is There an Epidemic of Cop Killings? Is there evidence of a newly-evolving crisis impacting law enforcement? Each year, the FBI publishes a report entitled Law Enforcement Officers [LEOs] Killed & Assaulted. In the 2005 edition, they state:
Predict where and how a tragedy is likely to happen and then use that knowledge to prevent it—that’s a good strategy. It’s also a reason to study the narratives in Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA).[2]
Nowhere in this document is there mention of the National Trace database....

PING for the RKBA
Egads.
Speaking as an ex-cop, Chucky Schumer can kiss my ass.
Those who have not learned the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. Take away the people's weapons and a totalitarian government is sure to follow. But that is what the libs want. Total control and the ability to murder anyone who disagrees with them.
I'm NOT an ex-cop, and he can kiss MINE as well.
and the world lived happily ever after /sarcasm
I better put a sarcasm switch on that..
LOL!!
(to the tune of the Oscar Mayer Bologan Song):
The hypocrite has a first name, it's C - H - U - C - K
The hypocrite has a 2nd name S-C - H - U - M - E - R
He'll take away your guns, he will
His bodyguards will have them still
Chuck Schumer is a ty-pi-cal, L - I - B - E - R - A - L
Sorry for mis-spelling bologna.
Actually, the Wiemar Republic required gun registration, even though they might have not had a single nefarious motive for doing so. However, Hitler inherited the registration lists when he rose to power, and the rest is history. That's the main reason to oppose gun registration ALWAYS - it's easy to say that gun registration is bad when a tyrant does it, but harder to oppose it when the Fluffy Bunny party wants to do it. But the Fluffy Bunny party won't necessarily always remain in power.
