NSSF Issues Statement on Chicago Gun Trace Report

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, today issued the following statement.

Gun Trace Report 2017 issued at the direction of the Chicago Mayor’s Office outlines a comprehensive public safety strategy, certain elements of which the firearms industry would endorse including increasing the number of police officers on the street and tough sentences for criminals who use guns. The bulk of the report, however, starts from a purposely misleading premise and represents what we have heard before as a political narrative from the administration of Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

As to the premise, a tracing request is simply a law enforcement tool. As the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ATF has repeatedly stated, “The 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.” (Crime Gun Trace Analysis Reports, ATF, 1998).

Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) are already heavily regulated. Additional laws on the state level would be redundant and burdensome without doing anything to enhance public safety, only serving to impede the lawful commerce in firearms and ultimately affecting only law-abiding citizens.

The areas of Chicago affected by the criminal misuse of firearms are under siege from criminal cartel and gang activity involved in the trafficking of illegal drugs. Even when apprehended and convicted these repeat criminals are often treated leniently by the criminal justice system. Taking criminals off the street is the only way to stem this violence.

Chicago already has some of the most stringent gun control regulations in the country and, clearly, criminals are not complying with the laws. More laws won’t work to change criminal behavior. Read more

You see, last week, Jason and his brother took to the lava fields of Central Idaho in search of a buck that they had been watching for a few weeks that they felt confident would tip the scales at over 200 inches. Prepping for this outing, the brothers had their Bergara B14 Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor tuned up with a custom hand load that had been giving some amazing groups and having Jason feeling comfortable out past 400 yards and ready to hit the ground running.

With a rough score of 245 inches…it’s a safe bet to say that this could be the largest buck currently harvested with a Bergara Rifle in 2017

Jason Roast, a central Idaho native, crossed a bridge that we, as hunters, all dream of crossing one day by adding a huge buck to our trophy wall.
