Share Comments 3,088 New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- who at one point was considered an Independent ally of the White House but has proven to be a somewhat reliable critic -- is going hard after the president, accusing Obama of dragging his feet on gun control.

In a letter sent earlier this month from his coalition -- Mayors Against Illegal Guns -- Bloomberg comes intriguingly close to assigning blame for ongoing gun violence to the Obama administration. The mayor and his co-signer, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, point to a separate report they sent the administration in early August 2009, which laid out 40 recommendations to "improve enforcement of existing gun laws" that simply required enforcing existing statutes. That report was apparently given only a perfunctory response from the Department of Justice and little tangible political action -- prompting a harsh follow-up letter from Bloomberg and Menino.

"We appreciate the Department's consideration of the report, but this is an urgent matter: further delay will almost certainly result in the needless loss of innocent lives, including many children. Mr. President, the time has come for action," the mayors write. "Over the past six months, approximately 6,000 Americans have been gunned down in intentional acts of violence. The 40 recommendations in our Blueprint, many of which could be enacted immediately, offer the best hope we have for making our country safer over the next six months - and the years ahead."

The authors go on to point to specific recommendations that they argue could have proven invaluable in preventing or stemming some of the recent cases of gun-related violence -- such as the shooting of two Pentagon police officers earlier this month. Specifically, they cite the need for better information-sharing methods for law enforcement units and "proactive enforcement and undercover operations" by the ATF.

"Had [these recommendations] been implemented," Bloomberg and Menino write. "ATF would have undertaken proactive enforcement and undercover operations to identify problematic gun shows and the sellers who break the law at those shows."

The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.

In all, the letter is telling as much for what it says about the president's somewhat frayed relationship with Bloomberg (who was sought out for advice on both health care reform and civilian trials for 9/11 terrorists -- both of which he ended up opposing), as for what it says about the White House's approach to the gun control debate.

Story continues below
The president and his team have made what appears to be a tacit decision to keep their distance from Second amendment issues -- undoubtedly wary of how politically divisive it can be. And while the strategy has helped dispel the always-erroneous notion that Obama was hell-bent on taking away people's guns, it's also earned the administration a host of critiques from editorial boards to gun-control advocates -- who argue that the political will is there for basic but important reforms.

"In your recent State of the Union Address, you reminded Congress, rightly, that the American people sent you to Washington to take on the tough issues - to worry about the next generation, not the next election," writes Bloomberg and Menino. "But not all issues that are controversial in Washington are controversial in the rest of the country."

"We respectfully request a meeting with you and the Attorney General to discuss how these reforms can be implemented over the next several months."

March 3, 2010
President Barack Obama
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Obama:
Six months ago, Mayors Against Illegal Guns submitted to you and key members of your Administration a “Blueprint for Federal Action on Illegal Guns,” which set out 40 recommendations to improve enforcement of existing gun laws – without any change in existing statutes. If implemented, these recommendations would dramatically improve efforts to cut down on gun trafficking and reduce the crime and murder that it fuels. Representatives of the coalition subsequently met with officials from the Department of Justice and have learned that the Department and its subdivisions are reviewing the recommendations highlighted in the Blueprint. We appreciate the Department’s consideration of the report, but this is an urgent matter: further delay will almost certainly result in the needless loss of innocent lives, including many children. Mr. President, the time has come for action.
Over the past six months, approximately 6,000 Americans have been gunned down in intentional acts of violence. The 40 recommendations in our Blueprint, many of which could be enacted immediately, offer the best hope we have for making our country safer over the next six months – and the years ahead.
Lack of Data Sharing: In 2005, 67,713 prohibited purchasers attempted to buy guns, yet only 135 or less than 1% were ever prosecuted. If the status quo prevails, the next six months will see more than 50,000 prohibited purchasers – including murderers, rapists, and car-jackers – attempt to buy guns, yet face no legal consequences. Most of these rejected applicants will commit a felony by knowingly lying on their Form 4473 in order to purchase the firearm. Even more disturbing is the fact that there is no system in place to share this information with state and local law enforcement. In Colorado alone, over the most recent six months, rejected applicants included 6 murderers, 14 sex criminals, and 295 fugitives. Had Recommendations 1 and 2 been implemented, the FBI would have shared information with state and local police on all prohibited purchasers who attempted to purchase guns, and the Justice Department would have investigated and prosecuted the most dangerous of these people for their illegal attempts to purchase guns.
Gun Show Lawlessness: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has identified gun shows as one of the top two sources of guns trafficked illegally in the United States and into Mexico. In the last six months, there were roughly 2,500 gun shows around the country where hundreds of thousands of guns were available for sale without background checks. And while most Americans who participate in gun shows are responsible law-abiding citizens, an undercover investigation by the City of New York of seven gun shows in three states showed a disturbing disregard for existing firearms laws. Thirty-five out of 47 sellers (74 percent) approached by undercover investigators illegally completed sales to people who appeared to be criminals or straw purchasers. Had Recommendations 10, 11, 12 and 13 been implemented,
ATF would have undertaken proactive enforcement and undercover operations to identify problematic gun shows and the sellers who break the law at those shows.
If the status quo prevails, crime gun trace analysis and sharing among law enforcement will remain weak, joint enforcement operations by ATF and local police will remain understaffed, Mexican gun-running will remain rampant, and the federal government will continue to risk failing to connect the dots about terror suspects who purchase guns. The 40 recommendations made by our bi-partisan coalition offer constructive steps forward in each of these areas – and all of the steps can be taken administratively, without any change in existing statutes.
In your recent State of the Union Address, you reminded Congress, rightly, that the American people sent you to Washington to take on the tough issues – to worry about the next generation, not the next election. But not all issues that are controversial in Washington are controversial in the rest of the country. As a recent poll of gun owners and NRA members confirms, taking basic steps to crack down on illegal guns is both good politics and good policy. For example, 96% of NRA members and 94% of gun owners agree that criminals who possess, use and traffic in illegal guns should be punished to the maximum extent of the law.
We recognize that even the strongest law enforcement cannot stop every murder, but we also see – every day – how lax enforcement of existing gun laws contributes to the murder of innocent Americans, many of them children. We are asking for your help to tackle illegal trafficking and gun crime. The federal government must enforce the laws on the books, and give ATF and state and local law enforcement the resources they need to ensure public safety.
We respectfully request a meeting with you and the Attorney General to discuss how these reforms can be implemented over the next several months.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. Menino Michael R. Bloomberg
