If that\u2019s at all believable to you, I\u2019ve got a fake Rolex on the inside of my coat to sell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New York City Mayor\u2019s Office of Criminal Justice is attempting to politicize the issue of criminal law enforcement with misdirection and half-truths. The mayor\u2019s office incorrectly claims that the Tiahrt Amendment prevents the city from collecting and accessing data to inform policy decisions. This is untrue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coordinated-tiahrt-attacks\">Coordinated Tiahrt Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firearm trace data is \u2013 and has always been \u2013 available to law enforcement for criminal investigations. The Tiahrt Amendment allows law enforcement to have access to and share trace information with others in law enforcement. It merely prevents the public disclosure of this sensitive data outside of law enforcement. New York City officials are untruthful when they claim law enforcement and policy decisions cannot be made without public disclosure of protected firearm trace data. The same is true of Baltimore\u2019s identical claims. These officials are more interested in conducting a \u201cname-and-shame\u201d campaign and shifting the blame for their own failures to properly address spiraling crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this sounds familiar, it\u2019s because it is. Baltimore\u2019s Mayor Brandon Scott&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/03\/04\/us\/baltimore-gun-crime-atf-lawsuit\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\"><strong>claimed the same thing<\/strong><\/a>. He brought a lawsuit \u2013 backed by the Michael Bloomberg-funded gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety (more on Bloomberg in a moment) \u2013 against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for not releasing protected firearm trace data. The ATF didn\u2019t release it to Baltimore because federal law prevents it. NSSF&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/nssf-moves-to-intervene-in-case-to-prevent-law-enforcement-trace-data-from-unlawful-public-disclosure\/?hilite=baltimore\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\">moved to intervene<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to ensure this sensitive information remains protected from political gamesmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the information is potentially the starting point for a criminal investigation. It\u2019s incomplete, is often still being used in criminal investigations and could jeopardize those ongoing investigations, the law enforcement running down leads to lock up criminals and put cooperating witnesses, including firearms retailers, in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ATF noted in their 1998 Crime Gun Trace Analysis Reports when they wrote, \u201cThe appearance of [a licensed dealer] or a first unlicensed purchaser of record in association with a crime gun or in association with multiple crime guns in no way suggests that either the federal firearms licensed dealer (FFL) or the first purchaser has committed criminal acts. Rather, such information may provide a starting point for further and more detailed investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also why Congress, the Department of Justice (DOJ), ATF and law enforcement, including the nation\u2019s largest police organization, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), all agree on the importance of protecting this sensitive data. Access to gun crime trace data is \u2013 and should only be \u2013 available to law enforcement in connection with a bona fide criminal investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yes-the-atf-violated-tiahrt-protections\">Yes, the ATF Violated Tiahrt Protections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That might leave some scratching their heads, wondering didn\u2019t ATF just willingly hand over a list of firearm retailers to USA Today and Brady United, that identified thousands of firearm retailers that had 25 firearm traces within a year? Isn\u2019t that a violation of federal law?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, and yes. The ATF \u2013 for the first time ever \u2013 &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/atfs-tiahrt-violation-enables-media-name-and-shame-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\"><strong>willingly released that information<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, even though it should have been denied. The information is derived from the ATF\u2019s National Tracing Center\u2019s (NTC) Firearm Tracing System (FTS). That\u2019s the firearm trace information the Tiahrt Amendment is protects from disclosure including by a FOIA request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ATF released it anyway, in violation of federal law. It appears that the Biden administration views some laws as mere suggestions instead of laws that must be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time a New York City mayor clashed with the Tiahrt Amendment. Remember that name Michael Bloomberg? He\u2019s the billionaire funder of Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, Students Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG). It\u2019s worth noting Baltimore Mayor Scott and NYC Mayor Adams are MAIG co-chairs of the Bloomberg-funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomberg is also the failed presidential candidate who said it\u2019s perfectly fine for him to be protected by guns, but regular Americans, not so much. He\u2019s also the former mayor of New York City and tried his own off-the-books end run around Congress, the ATF and DOJ to undermine the Tiahrt Amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rogue-mayors\"><strong>Rogue Mayors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>History has already&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/atfs-tiahrt-violation-enables-media-name-and-shame-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\"><strong>proven what happens<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;when politicians abuse this protected trace data to score cheap political points. Former New York City Mayor Bloomberg unlawfully co-opted protected firearm trace data from the New York City Police to prepare a lawsuit against members of the firearm industry. Bloomberg ordered private investigators to conduct \u201csting\u201d operations of out-of-state firearm retailers \u2013 without the knowledge of ATF or even his own police commissioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result was disastrous. According to ATF, Bloomberg interfered with as many as 18 ongoing criminal investigations, jeopardizing the lives of law enforcement officers, informants, witnesses and others. The ATF was forced to pull agents out of the field for their own protection. The DOJ investigated the actions of the mayor\u2019s private investigators and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DOJLtrtoNYCFeinblattReStings02-06-07.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\"><strong>admonished<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;the city against engaging in similar conduct because it could \u201cinterrupt or jeopardize ongoing criminal investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomberg\u2019s own police commissioner, Ray Kelly,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kelly_ltrtoAshcroftsupportingtracedata-restrictions-8-19-02.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\">urged the DOJ to oppose<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;the public disclosure of trace data sought by then-Chicago Mayor Richard Daley for use in civil litigation against members of the firearm industry precisely because it would \u201ccompromise critical law enforcement investigations and endanger the lives of police officers and members of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiahrt protections for firearm trace data isn\u2019t what\u2019s stopping New York City Mayor Adams from generating policy that would lock up criminals and staunch the crime plaguing city residents. The New York Police Department (NYPD) has all the information it needs on firearm tracing. That\u2019s never been the issue. Mayor Adams once wore the police shield. He should know this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue is that the Mayor\u2019s office and the New York City Council treat crime with kid gloves. That\u2019s a failing policy.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/03\/03\/opinion\/bail-fail-study-shows-that-repeat-crime-increased-in-new-york-because-of-justice-reforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\"><strong>The New York Post<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;reported that the bail reforms that ushered in \u201cno bail\u201d policies, \u201cshows that 66% of the people released under bail reform who had a recent prior arrest were re-arrested within two years of their release,\u201d as reported by John Jay College of Criminal Justice\u2019s Data Collaborative for Justice. The Post added, \u201cThe DCJ study also showed that 67% of defendants who had a recent prior violent felony arrest in the past year who were released under bail reform were re-arrested within two years of their arraignment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Adams could be scapegoating federal law for his own failure to address crime as a way of misdirecting attention from his own concerns with the FBI. Late in 2023, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/new-york-mayor-eric-adams-fbi-investigation-0349a188b77baf822748fedf18b7ea4f\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\"><strong>FBI abruptly seized<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;Mayor Adams\u2019 phones and iPad as part of a political corruption investigation into fundraising improprieties.

The citizens of New York City would be better served if the city\u2019s leaders and city\u2019s prosecutors locked up criminals victimizing the innocent instead of turning those criminals back on the streets to commit more and increasingly violent crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Larry Keane\u00a0<\/strong><em>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nyc-mayor-incorrectly-blames-tiahrt-for-crime-woes\" title=\"NYC Mayor Incorrectly Blames Tiahrt for Crime Woes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, and yes.
