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.

NRA and law enforcement in Richmond VA. Jail people for illegal weapons. As an NRA lifer I know. I called and asked the NRA how a gun could be illegal. Shall not be infringed, basic right, etc.
I told the NRA they were on the wrong side.
Yep.
That ain’t a good thing
They didn’t jail people for “illegal” weapons. They moved felons caught in possession of firearms immediately to the federal courts.
It was a good program and the libs screamed bloody murder about it.
Unless you’re in favor of felons carrying weapons illegally I don’t see how you could be against it.

This program converts a God given right into a government granted privilege. Just like background checks do. I simply do not trust any government weenie with the power to permanently disarm any American. No sale. Keep the Gestapo crap east of the Mississippi.
