Burn in Hell Todd Tiahrt

[hazlnut]

Prepare to be disgusted.

The Tiahrt Amendments, named for their original sponsor, U.S. Representative Todd Tiahrt (R-KS), are provisions attached to federal spending bills that make it harder for law enforcement officers to aggressively pursue criminals who buy and sell illegal guns. Since it was formed in 2006, Mayors Against Illegal Guns has been fighting to reform the Tiahrt Amendments.

Keep in mind, this was all NRA approved stuff. Remember NRA says that we just need to enforce the laws that are already on the books.

How Tiahrt Harms Law Enforcement
While some components of the Tiahrt Amendments were improved in 2007 and 2009, several damaging provisions continue to tie the hands of law enforcement.

NICS background check records are still destroyed within 24 hours:
The Tiahrt Amendments require the Justice Department to destroy the record of a buyer whose NICS background check was approved within 24 hours. This makes it harder to catch law-breaking gun dealers who falsify their records, and it makes it more difficult to identify and track straw purchasers who buy guns on behalf of criminals who wouldn't be able to pass a background check.WTF

ATF still does not have the power to require dealer inventory checks to detect lost and stolen guns:
While dealers must notify ATF if they discover that guns from their inventories have been lost or stolen, the Tiahrt Amendments prevent ATF from requiring gun dealers to conduct annual physical inventory checks to detect losses and thefts. ATF reported that in 2007 it found 30,000 guns missing from dealer inventories based on its inspection of just 9.3% of gun dealers.

State and local authorities are still restricted from using trace data to fully investigate corrupt gun dealers and traffickers:
While the FY 2010 appropriations language restores full access to crime gun trace data for state and local law enforcement, the Tiahrt Amendments continue to restrict what state and local law enforcement can do with trace data they have gathered. For example, state and local law enforcement are still prohibited from using trace data in civil proceedings to suspend or revoke the license of a gun dealer who was caught breaking the law.

THIS IS SO-OOOO OVER.

Rep. Tiahrt explains his amendment here:
Rep. Todd Tiahrt: Mayors wrong about Tiahrt amendment | Wichita Eagle

Bloomberg has brazenly charged that investigators were "blocked" from searching alleged terror suspect Maj. Nidal Hasan's records — and that maintaining records beyond the 24 hours permitted by the Tiahrt amendment "could have saved lives." One of his solutions to prevent another Fort Hood tragedy: repeal the Tiahrt amendment.
There's just one problem with Bloomberg's so-called solution — the FBI already has 90 days to maintain and investigate firearm sale records related to suspects on the FBI's terrorist watch list. Not only are the FBI and counterterrorism agents notified when a suspect tries to purchase a firearm, but they can and do place holds on transactions to allow further review by field agents.
If Hasan was on the FBI's terrorist watch list, the agency would have had direct knowledge about his firearm purchase. If Hasan was not on the FBI watch list, that raises ample questions as to why not. But it should not lead us to dangerously conclude that owning or purchasing a firearm makes you suspect for committing an act of terrorism.

This is the REAL reason Liberals don't like the Tiahrt Amendment:
Tiahrt Violations!: USAID Continues to Fund Family Planning Programs in Peru, Despite Verifiable Abuses | Population Research Institute

The Tiahrt Amendment set standards for family planning programs in other countries, prohibiting US “population planning” funds from going to programs which violate this law. In order to qualify for US assistance, family planning programs in other nations cannot seek to fill quotas or targets for participation. Programs or governments accepting US family planning assistance cannot pressure or bribe women into accepting family planning methods they do not want

Killin' babies in America isn't enough for you blood thirsty Liberals?

Disgusting.

If you add up all the gun crimes that could have been prevented had the ATF been allowed to share trace info with local police.... think of how much blood the NRA have on their hands.
