2) Another early test of that commitment is coming soon. It involves the so-called Tiahrt Amendment, which is strongly supported by the gun lobby. The amendment denies police and local governments access to essential information about guns used to commit crimes. The question is whether Mr. Obama’s forthcoming budget blueprint will include language aiming to repeal it.
Supported by the gun lobby??? Where do these liberal air head journalists come from?
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. The Tiahrt Amendment (which is supported by ATF and the Fraternal Order of Police) only limits general public access to firearms trace data so as to protect ongoing criminal investigations and to save the lives of law enforcement officers and others.
No law enforcement agency in the country has ever been denied access to firearm trace data about their community by ATF. Not a single one.
Link to the truth.
