ATF To Join NYPD In Fighting New York City Gun Crimes

By CBS New York, Jun. 15, 2015

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Bullet-riddled windows, yellow crime scene tape, and evidence markers denoting where shell casings fell on the sidewalk are becoming all-too-familiar sights on New York City streets.

Now in an unprecedented move, a federal agency is joining the effort to get gun crimes under control, CBS2’s 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.

“There’s going to be an increase in federal arrests – no doubt,” said AFT agent Charles Mulham.

Milwaukee Sheriff Speaks Out Against Mayor And Police Chief On Gun Violence

By Elise Cooper, Jun. 3, 2015, American Thinker

In recent months, Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett and police chief Edward Flynn have challenged and criticized state leaders, specifically Governor Scott Walker, while addressing Wisconsin gun violence. They claim “urban prejudice” because shootings have increased since a 2011 law was passed permitting gun owners to carry without concealing. American Thinker interviewed Milwaukee County sherriff David Clarke regarding his opinion.

The mayor and police chief stated their position: “This community has to face the reality that the gun laws that this state has put forward over the last few years, as proud as it makes the governor and legislature feel, has resulted in more guns on the streets in the City of Milwaukee.” Clarke contends that this is a “political hit job by the entire Wisconsin Democrats, a political smear. They neglect to consider that the violence has been going on for quite some time.”

He wants people to consider that the mayor has been in office for ten years, while the police chief has held the job for six years.
