ABC said:As part of the program, U.S. prosecutors will coordinate with state and local law enforcement officials to consider potential federal charges when a suspect is arrested for weapons possession, is believed to have used a gun to commit a violent crime or drug-trafficking offense or is suspected of being a violent gang member.
ABC said:Federal law defines nine categories that would prohibit someone from being legally allowed to own or possess a firearm. They include being convicted of any felony charge or a misdemeanor domestic violence, being subject to a restraining order or active warrants, being dishonorably discharged from the military, being addicted to drugs, renouncing your U.S. citizenship or being in the country illegally or being involuntarily committed to a mental health institution or being found by a court to be "a mental defective."
ABC said:Prosecutors will particularly focus on offenders who have violent backgrounds, are gang members or who have faced domestic violence charges.
ABC said:The new program will also help enhance ATF's crime gun intelligence efforts, which the agency uses to identify and target criminals and identify where they get their guns.
It's planned so not ironic at all. Scream the loudest, create more laws, fail to enforce them, rinse & repeat.The irony is that these very leftist enclaves are the ones screeching the loudest about having to "do something about gun violence", yet refuse to do anything meaningful.
The sanctuary cities, counties, and states will likely not refer any cases to the Feds!
That was exactly Wayne LaPierre's point about the Clinton gun control laws. Since there was no prosecution, he surmised that they needed a certain level of continuing violence and death to further their agenda.It's planned so not ironic at all. Scream the loudest, create more laws, fail to enforce them, rinse & repeat.
This recipe has worked flawlessly for 40-50 years.
Hey, lets make more laws, thats the ticket! Lets not enforce the ones we already have, but damn, lets make some new ones that just have to work! Wow!
While i admire the effort, lets just take a step back a min. and think about following existing laws instead of making yet more laws that dont work if we dont enforce them!
And Wrongthinkers.... don't forget, they prosecute "Enemies of the Reich" like us too.Fat chance with all the Soros backed, Alinsky taught DA's flooding all major cities who refuse to prosecute anyone but Cops
