May 15, 2003Gun Laws Not EnforcedThe Advocate reports on a national gun safety study that finds most federal laws are not enforced in Louisiana. The study found that just two statutes, which each target street criminals in possession of weapons, account for the vast majority of federal gun prosecutions.
Not surprisingly, most firearms cases are handled in state court, so the numbers arguably fail to provide an adequate representation of the gun enforcement picture. The Times-Picayune reports that U.S. Attorney Jim Letten in New Orleans has adopted a "zero tolerance" policy for people who lie on criminal background checks to buy firearms in response to the study.
