New Database Will Track Guns Used in Crimes

Submitted by Tommy Murphy, Feb 15, 2008 07:40

Sounds like Bloomberg and Dixon are just duplicating the efforts of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Has either of these mayors created a database to track illegal drugs trafficked to their states? If so, did it reduce drug trafficking?

Bloomberg is a fine example that you do not have to really do anything as long as you "appear" that you are doing something.
