“A new group called Prosecutors Against Gun Violence has formed to find solutions to gun violence in the U.S.,” NPR reported Saturday, sharing an interview with the tax-funded public employees behind the effort. “NPR’s Arun Rath speaks with attorneys and co-chairs Cyrus Vance Jr. and Mike Feuer.”

“This fall marks the launch of Prosecutors Against Gun Violence, an independent, non-partisan coalition working toward prosecutorial and policy solutions to the national public emergency of gun violence,” the group says about itself before announcing a Tuesday and Wednesday “summit” in Atlanta. “Our growing coalition includes 23 prosecutors of varied political backgrounds, representing diverse jurisdictions throughout the United States.

“We can augment the enforcement of existing federal law,” the group asserts, revealing a game plan framework. “We can export state and local rules that are working to other states and localities.

“Prosecutors, by and large, are not ideologues,” PAGV insists. “We protect and we serve.”

That’s demonstrably false as far as the group’s front men are concerned. Feuer is a veteran citizen disarmament zealot, as documented for years on The War on Guns blog. For his part, Vance is an award-winning anti-gunner. And rather than “find[ing] solutions to gun violence,” all the group’s efforts will do is give more advantages to criminal predators at the expense of those PAGV claims it works for.

The main event at the gathering in Atlanta was Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords and co-founder of a national “gun control” group. Kelly’s discussion, per the Associated Press, focused not on prosecuting violent criminals, but rather, on “the need … to counter the powerful gun lobby.”

“Documents obtained through a lawsuit recently issued against the City of Phoenix by government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal a weapon from the Department of Justice’s Operation Fast and Furious was used to injure two people in a 2013 gang-style assault on an apartment complex. When the incident occurred and during investigation afterward, police worked with federal law enforcement agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency in the case, raising suspicions the assault wasn’t simply a typical, local gang shootout and prompted questions about the details of where the weapons that were used came from.

“Thanks to our lawsuit, Congress has been able to confirm what Judicial Watch already reported – that a Fast and Furious weapon was used in yet another violent crime that terrorized and injured residents of Phoenix,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Our lawsuit against Phoenix exposed how the Obama cover-up of Fast and Furious is ongoing. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is a mess. It has endangered the public and is engaged in an ongoing cover-up of its insanely reckless Fast and Furious gun-running operation”

“Assistant Attorney General James Cole, who played a large role in the cover-up of Operation Fast and Furious, announced his resignation from DOJ today.”

This one could end up setting precedent so that the corpse of engineers has to lift their unconstitutional ban on firearms…

“DENVER, CO.  An Idaho woman who is barred from carrying a functional firearm for self-defense when she visits federal recreational facilities prevailed today with the ruling of an Idaho federal district court that the federal government ban on firearms violates the Second Amendment.  Elizabeth E. Morris of Nez Perce County is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, regularly carries a concealed weapon, and often seeks to recreate on lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Because Corps of Engineers regulations ban functional firearms, even while camped in tents, Ms. Morris is subject to criminal prosecution if she attempts to exercise her Second Amendment rights.  Alan C. Baker, a firearms instructor and a resident of Idaho’s Latah County, is a co-plaintiff in the suit, which was filed in August 2013 in Idaho federal district court.  The Corps of Engineers did not respond to requests from attorneys for Ms. Morris and Mr. Baker, Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), seeking an exemption from its firearm ban, a ban that has not changed since the landmark Heller ruling.

“We are delighted the court’s ruled that, ‘The regulation banning the use of handguns on Corps’ property by law-abiding citizens for self-defense purposes violates the Second Amendment,’” said William Perry Pendley.”

When the mentally ill are released from halfway houses, they are hired directly into public school administration:

“An Alabama mother is furious that her 5-year-old daughter was forced to sign a school contract stating she wouldn’t kill herself or anyone else at school.

School officials told Rebecca, who did not want to give her last name, they had to send 5-year-old Elizabeth home after an incident in class.

“They told me she drew something that resembled a gun. According to them she pointed a crayon at another student and said ‘pew pew’,” Rebecca explained.”

Need any more proof that public schools have become leftist indoctrination centers?

The July report by billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s funded gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety is “riddled with errors,” including mistakes in the number of shootings reported, the extent of the shooter’s mental illness and even where the attacks occurred, according to an analysis by gun researcher John Lott.

Since 2009 through mid-July of this year, there have been 25 mass shootings — compared with Everytown’s claim of at least 110 — 8 percent have happened in places that have allowed civilians to defend themselves, and 52 percent of time there was a clear indication of mental illness before the attack, says the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) report.
