[innocent citizen] "Gun prosecutions" up under Franklin Delano Bush

From my weekly NRA alert, and no, I'm not a member:

GUN ["]CRIME["] PROSECUTIONS UP DURING BUSH ADMINISTRATION [truth added in brackets]

NRA has long maintained that federal gun laws aimed at the criminal misuse of firearms are effective in reducing crime--if they are enforced. President Bush's administration has clearly heard that message and implemented it.

According to data released by a Syracuse University-based research group, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), prosecutions of federal gun law violations have increased sharply in the Bush Administration.

The data, obtained by TRAC from the Department of Justice, show that federal prosecutions are up across the board in the Bush Justice Department, and that cases filed on gun charges are a primary reason for the increase.

In 2000 there were 5,490 such prosecutions. In 2004 there were 10,937. That increase in gun crime prosecutions makes up almost one-quarter of the total increase in federal prosecutions in that period. The data suggest a significant change in priorities between a Janet Reno vs. a John Ashcroft-run Justice Department: the latter went after criminals who misuse firearms, not law-abiding citizens. [And remember, if you cut YOUR rifle/shotgun's barrel "too far" or get your "parts count" wrong, or dare to add a bayonet to certain SKSs or a million other unconstitutional restrictions, NRA does not consider you a law abiding citizen, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE!]

Passing more gun laws targeted at lawful gun ownership will not fight crime [AND NEITHER WILL ENFORCING LAWS TARGETED AT LAWFUL GUN OWNERS YOU BACKSTABBERS!] . Only by prosecuting criminals who possess and use firearms illegally [AND IF YOU DO ANY OF THE HARMLESS ITEMS LISTED ABOVE TO YOUR OWN DAMN PROPERTY, THIS MEANS YOU!!] will we have a decline in gun crime in America. The Bush ["]Justice["] Department has clearly received and understood this truth.

Yea, and thanks to JPFO , we already know that at least one of those 10,937 is a man who owned a FAL that had a broken part. The nazis at BATFE confiscated all of his guns and said that he had "converted" it to full auto because the broken part caused it to irregularly and unpredictably fire in occational bursts.
