Publication Date: September 19, 2007

What does it say?

This report from the International Association of Chiefs of Police highlights 39 recommendations to reduce gun violence.  The recommendations include universal background checks, gun dealer licensing, limits on bulk sales of handguns, repeal of the Tiahrt amendment, a federal assault weapons ban, state lost and stolen gun reporting, and more money for ATF to fight gun violence. 

How can I use it?

Use this report to educate the public and policymakers that gun violence prevention advocates support what law enforcement says it needs to combat gun violence.  Conversely, the gun lobby, by opposing common sense gun laws, is standing in opposition to law enforcement.  Click here to see a planning guide summarizing the report's recommendations.
