An undercover operation in Atlanta resulted in the arrest of 49 suspects and the recovery of 400 firearms. To me this is the type of operation that we should be focused on which targets criminals who have guns. Most of the guns were stolen and the individuals were involved in a variety of other crimes.
This seems much more productive than focusing on legitimate business owners or elaborate multi-country stings that cannot be managed properly. We know most gun crime is committed by persons who acquire guns illegally, so let’s focus on them. I know the theory has been to focus on the source, but the Chief of Police admitted the source is robbery.
