U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said his new Justice Department is focusing on five American cities to tackle illegal gun trafficking. On Thursday, while in Chicago, the official announced he’s sending gun trafficking strike forces to the Democrat-led cities of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
In a statement, the attorney general noted, “all too often guns found at crime scenes come from hundreds or thousands of miles away.” The strike forces represent a bolstering of federal and local law enforcement seeking to disrupt the flow of unlawfully obtained firearms to the places they are ultimately used to commit crimes.
“We are going to try to focus as much of our attention on these problems, not only in Chicago, but in the rest of the country which is also experiencing similar problems,” Garland stated. “And we’re going to try and mesh it up with grants for communities to, as I said, prevent violence, to interrupt violence and to provide the kind of relationship between the police and community necessary to build trust.”

Yup, democrat run city mayors don’t do their job and the rest of the country must bear the bill to correct their irresponsibility. Meanwhile, they continue to get reelected by their ignorant constituents.
They got wet with Swamp Water and were rendered unreadable.
Do you think they'll Stasi in the Cities, or expand across all America?
Latest version is that the cartels steal Mexican cop and military guns and smuggle them into the US.
Better put some Capitol Police in Mexico City.
This is the first wave of gun confiscation. In 6 months they will be coming to see you too.
"Now, 20 years later, with Osama bin Laden dead and the United States leaving Afghanistan, do we think those [FBI] GS-15 positions, or those Joint Terrorism Task Forces, or the Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force, are going to go away? No. They need work to justify those budgets, and America needs a new enemy.
"The difference is that the government has begun to use the tools that were developed to fight a credible foreign threat now to fight against the political opponents of Democrats."
I have no doubt these new 'strike forces' will successfully identify "political opponents of Democrats" as the root cause of ALL of the gun violence. Look out FFLs, law-abiding gun owners, and anybody with a MAGA hat - here comes Fast & Furious II...
DOJ to send gun trafficking strike forces to 5 U.S. cities
