CBS2 Exclusive: ATF To Join NYPD In Fighting New York City Gun Crimes
CBS NewYork ^ | June 15, 2015

Security Expert: Feds Involved In Day-To-Day Busts Isn't Something Seen Every Day.

Bullet-riddled windows, yellow crime scene tape, and evidence markers denoting where shell casings fell on the sidewalk are becoming all-too-familiar sights on New York City streets.

Now in an unprecedented move, a federal agency is joining the effort to get gun crimes under control, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Monday.

Kramer is told it was a collective decision made by the federal government, the NYPD, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Those agencies are mounting a first-ever anti-gun initiative in high-crime areas.

“There’s going to be an increase in federal arrests – no doubt,” said AFT agent Charles Mulham.

Mulham’s words were intended to be a stiff warning to city residents who would carry weapons, and seem all to ready to use them. They will not only have to deal with the NYPD, but they will have the feds on their tail too. ATF agents have mounted a first-ever summer gun initiative to get illegal weapons off the street.

...

If they’re going to go around doing gun busts on a day-to-day basis, that’s something that we really haven’t seen that often in New York City,” Gomez said.

Just another excuse for the white mayor to put black people in prison.

Yeah....the last couple of times they went out and did some “local” gun/crime issues outreach, that worked out so well, didn’t it?

From my perspective, the ATF is responsible for more killings than most any self-styled militia in this country. And this is probably just from the totals of Waco and Ruby Ridge. No one can estimate the untold number of deaths it is responsible as a result of Fast & Furious or the other multiple times they’ve been out “lending a hand.”

More common is for local prosecutors turning over prosecution to the feds for charges because federal penalties are much stiffer.

This sounds like another step in the Federalizing of the local police forces. Obama is creating a national police one brick at a time.

H/T to our FRiend george76 for the post.

Observe, Folks: Federal troops involved in municipal law enforcement.

And they're not simply backing up police efforts at law and order. They are doing TARGETED SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT of laws.

Coming to a deed-restricted community nearest you...

You are right in that, but I would also offer this. State prisons are way over crowded and SA’s are plea bargaining to many offenders. Therefore, charge Federal.

Question - does anyone recall Rudy Giuliana calling on ATF for help in policing the city?

And for the ATF to take direct control of policing in an American city. Local laws won’t matter to ATF, nor property rights or any other rights.

—the entire thrust of this will be to prove that the “illegal” guns come from “somewhere else with lax gun laws” , therefore Congress must pass nation gun legislation-—

The organization responsible for Waco/Branch Davidian disaster joins forces with an organization much like the one responsible for thr Philadelphia/MOVE disaster? What could possibly go wrong?
