UNMITAGATED BULLSH!T!! What we need is VERY strong penalties (mandatory jail sentences) for crimes committed with a gun. Make gun crime a Federal Offence just like bank robbery and kidnapping.
Unfortunately, the politicians don't have the cajones to inact such measures.
No. Expanding the law enforcement power of the central government is a really, really bad idea. Sounds like something Obama, Schumer, and Feinstein would want.
There are already calls for federalizing your local cops and sheriffs, who will be our only line of defense when the current tyranny takes off its smiley face, and that idea feeds right into that theme.
