Bush Administration Gets Tough on Gun-Related Violence


Following through on his campaign pronouncements that the nation doesn’t need more gun laws, just better enforcement of existing ones, President George W. Bush’s administration has announced a comprehensive, new national effort to take gun- wielding violent criminals off American streets. Under the Administration’s Project Safe Neighborhoods, the U.S. Dept. of Justice is committing $533 million over two years to beef up federal, state and local prosecutions of gun-related crimes. More than 580 new prosecutors will be hired to aggressively pursue gun cases in state and local courts, and the Justice Dept. will add 94 new Assistant U.S. Attorneys to the 113 hired last year to pursue federal cases. In addition to the new prosecutors, the anti-violence offensive will focus on providing additional support investigators, and provide training and develop community outreach programs to promote and improve public safety. “Project Safe Neighborhoods is a new national strategy that will get gun-wielding criminals off our streets and out of our neighborhoods,” said Attorney General John Ashcroft. “These new federal, state and local prosecutors will ensure that our gun laws are vigorously enforced so that our citizens will be protected from gun violence.”
