“The more the public understands about crime guns, the more it also understands the integral role of reckless licensed gun dealers in supplying the illegal market. The gun lobby, and particularly the gun industry, feel threatened by this knowledge because it supports the need for tighter federal regulation of gun dealers and gun sales to curb the flow of guns into criminal hands. The Tiahrt Amendment is a transparent attempt by the gun lobby, and its wholly owned friends in Congress, to shield the public, as well as government and law enforcement agencies, from the truth about guns and crime.”
