ATF involved in day to day busts in NYC

Because gun crime is up:

Now in an unprecedented move, a federal agency is joining the effort to get gun crimes under control, CBS2s 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.

    I say have fun! The ATF is like most federal law enforcement groups. They don’t like dealing with really really bad people. Its easier to bust people for a small violation then it is to actually work for a living and put your life on the line!

    Smuggling guns to Mexican Drug cartels ain’t what it used to be. There has to be something to do to justify the budgets.

  3. Brass Says:

    Didn’t they already have this? I believe it was called Stop and Frisk.

  4. Rivrdog Says:

    Not “first ever”. This was done in Portland, OR many years ago, back in the 90’s.

    Everything old is new again…

    Let’s not forget Project Exile in Richmmond, VA in 1997.

    How long before this morphs into a project finding all those violators of the SAFE Act?

    Classic use of a sledgehammer to swat a fly.

    In the late 70s, ATF pulled all their agents working stills in the South (and there were a lot of stills and a lot of agents) and sent them to Chicago, New York, Detroit, and elsewhere to work guns. It was called CUE (Concentrated Urban Enforcement) and it concentrated on felons with guns, gangs, and (ironically) gun-running to Mexico.
    They actually did some decent work. Operation CUE was the reason that ATF became the agency with the most expertise on biker gangs, Jamaican posses, and MS-13.
    Of course, today’s reporters don’t know about anything that happened way back when the years started with a 1.

    What could possibly go wrong?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
