"Assault weapons ban" debate is pablum and a waste of time. What was it that Edmund Burke said about history - and those doomed to repeat it...
Until it is accepted that firearms be registered, owners take responsibility, and their transfer be recorded akin to motor vehicles and immediate access is given to all LE - gun crimes will continue unabated.
Current Congressional efforts regarding trafficking laws and straw purchase laws is a distraction. You always have to prove culpability. And a bad investigator will always struggle. We'll see in a few years if this makes living in Philly, the 5 boros of NYC, Chicago, Detroit and LA any better - does anyone really care about "them" anyway. Lets look in a year and examine whether it is "dealing w/o a license" or a dedicated statute against trafficking how many of these cases are perfected anyway as compared with cherry picked adoption cases.
Congress - take on the ATF prohibitive riders and restrictions. http://trac.syr.edu/...nthlyjan13/fil/

Four years the Agency is admittedly aware of a trend and is only now "studying it." That speaks volumes about incompetency and/or lack of a will to make things right.

The attached is the notorious "Internal Affairs"...we'll call it an "investigation" regarding the intentional destruction of my ATF Badges by members UNKNOWN, within the SFFD Management chain of command.
NOTE: The attachment is heavily redacted for NO legitimate reason.
No witnesses interviewed except then-ASAC Michael Gleysteen, and then-RAC Dennis Downs. Gleysteen is now the AD Of Internal Affairs and Downs is the OCDETF Coordinator.
No polygraphs. Not even of me.
A request for a lab examination by some IA rookie without anything to compare it to (a tool mark examination). Yet wasted lab time to state that the badges were intentionally destroyed. DUH.
Gleysteen attempted to get a Protective Programs employee to lie about the condition of the badges.
The only two people known to have secure possession of the badges were Mike Gleysteen and Dennis Downs.
I returned one badge on one day and the other on the next. Both were subsequently badly damaged, and NEITHER manager noticed even one of them were damaged?
Both Downs AND Gleysteen admitted to knowing a crime had been committed after being asked over a year later. Both testified that they DID NOT REPORT IT.
Promotion, Promotion, Promotion. I personally have not seen a more juvenile act in over 30 years of law enforcement.
YOU DECIDE if these are the best choices Brandon and Jones could make for the integrity of our Bureau.

"one possible source was the blade of a standard screwdriver." CASE CLOSED. They tried to screw you.
