The ATF gets called on to trace guns. We all know the much documented
problems with using the database of traced guns.
For sometime now, we've been accustomed to seeing these guns
mis-characterized by the anti-gun-rights crowd as "crime guns". So
accustomed perhaps, that we don't protest every time.
Last Thursday, a New York Times editorial rumbling for the defeat of the
Tihart amendment said this:
"... barred state and local police forces from getting access to
information on illegal gun sales regularly collected by federal
inspectors."
The Times does not address the question as to why this list of "illegal
gun sales" is not used to arrest the illegal sellers.
