    Better implementation of existing laws, this has been what many have been saying needs done. So, we'll have to see...\

    The initiative requires agents in charge of ATF offices across the country to either create new guidelines or review the protocols already in place to bring federal charges against people who lie in order to obtain a gun from a firearms dealer. Prosecutors will particularly focus on offenders who have violent backgrounds, are gang members or who have faced domestic violence charges.
    U.S. attorney’s offices would also be required to quickly input information about people who can’t own guns for mental health reason into federal databases. The attorney general is also encouraging U.S. attorneys across the country to adopt programs that could help disrupt potential threats and consider recommending court-ordered mental health treatment, in some cases, for defendants found to be ineligible to own firearms for mental health reasons.

    Wait, so you're telling me they're planning on actually enforcing the laws that have been on the books for years, if not decades? What a novel idea! :rolleyes:

    It’s almost like, they read what the lawful gun owners at INGO posted and decided to implement it. Nice to see they don’t just lurk the classies...
