As an NRA Patron Member and Certified Firearms Instructor, in the fields of Civilian and Law Enforcement, I remember a policy used in Philadelphia as proposed by the National Rifle Association called “Project Exile” which mandated the use of the existing law (1968 GCA) to put felons, caught in possession of a Firearm and/or ammunition, in prison for the five year sentance put forth in the 1968 Gun Control Act. It worked!
Crime was cut drastically.
I propose that the Federal Govt. set up this policy to reduce “gun crime” in the entire United States.
