Office of Management and Budget
Authorized by the organization "Mayors Against Illegal Guns".
For many years, leaders of the gun lobby have urged law enforcement professionals to "enforce the laws on the books." Elected officials of all political stripes have joined that call. While the 450-plus members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns believe that Congress needs to close major gaps in federal laws, I we believe with equal strength that the executive branch needs to more effectively enforce existing gun laws. The coalition has identified 40 opportunities in six areas where the Administration could enhance enforcement of existing laws without Congressional action. These recommendations would dramatically improve law enforcement's ability to keep guns out of the hands of criminals - and, in doing so, save innocent lives, including the lives of police officers.
