As special agent in charge of Chicago's ATF field division, Traver
had taken the lead in calling for a ban on semiautomatic firearms.
It is not surprising that Traver has also been active in the
virulently anti-gun International Association of Chiefs of Police,
which has worked to empower Handgun Control-type activists and has
commissioned panels to:
* support one-gun-a-month and lock-up-your-safety laws, as well as
"ballistic fingerprinting" files on all firearms;
* espouse an "effective" ban on .50-caliber firearms, and a
redefinition of "armor-piercing" ammunition that could effectively ban
handgun use;
* mandate gun-destruction policies for law enforcement and enhanced
funding to go after guns;
* prohibit all private gun sales and make "prohibited persons" out of
a much wider variety of persons committing simple misdemeanors;
* back a repeal of the Tiahrt amendment; and,
* allow federal health and safety oversight of the firearms industry
(through agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control, the
Consumer Product Safety Commission or the Food and Drug
Administration).
Please contact your Congressman and Senator to support a filibuster of the Andrew F. Traver nomination to head the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
