The 15 cities are Albuquerque, N.M.; Baltimore; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Tampa, Fla.; Miami; Richmond, Va.; Greensboro, N.C.; Tulsa, Okla.; Pittsburgh; Las Vegas; Columbus, Ohio; Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Tucson, Ariz.; and the Washington, D.C.-Northern Virginia region.

The article indicates that will "focus on prosecuting people for firearms violations, which often accompany gang activity, illegal drug organizations and organized crime groups."

Hmmm...the DC-Northern VA area? Organized crime groups, firearms violations... I can give them an address in DC where they can start.

On a more serious note...here in Boston murder (and other viloent crimes) rates are way up....and it's mostly organized gang activity. Why is it up? Because money and resources have been gutted ffrom local law enforcement in the name of "homeland security".
