As a representative member of the IACP Summit Leadership, he is on record as supporting the following: (sorry for the long post)
6. The IACP should develop a best practices protocol for voluntary gun surrender programs. . .
8. Law enforcement agencies should mandate destruction of all firearms that come into their possession once any law enforcement use for them is completed.
9. Congress, as well as state, local, and tribal governments, should enact laws requiring that all gun sales and transfers proceed through a Federal Firearms License (FFL), thus ensuring that a mandatory background check will be conducted on the transferee.
10. State and/or local governments should license all gun dealers.
11. State and local governments should regulate and/or limit the sale of multiple handguns as a measure to reduce gun trafficking.
12. State and local governments should mandate that a ballistic fingerprint is recorded for every gun sold.
13. State, local, and tribal governments should mandate that every gun sold comes with a lock or security device that meets minimum safety standards, to help protect against accidental discharge and misuse.
14. State, local, and tribal governments should mandate safe storage of guns, provide voluntary off-site storage facilities, and prosecute those who fail to comply with safe storage laws.
15. All states should have laws that reinforce the federal laws prohibiting domestic violence misdemeanants and the subjects of domestic violence protection orders from purchasing or possessing firearms. The state laws should mandate that law enforcement remove all firearms and ammunition when responding to domestic violence incidents and when serving a domestic violence protective order. These important state and federal laws should be vigorously enforced by judges and law enforcement.
16. Federal, state, local, and tribal governments should enact laws prohibiting persons with misdemeanor convictions involving violence, qualifying mental health adjudications and commitments, or a history of domestic violence and/or drug abuse from purchasing, possessing, and transporting any guns or ammunition. These laws should be consistently and vigorously enforced.
17. Law enforcement executives should create policies and protocols on the appropriate removal and seizure of firearms from prohibited persons and ensure that necessary training is provided. . .
21. Congress should restore funding for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program for state, local, and tribal agencies to investigate and prosecute cases of gun trafficking and gun violence.
22. The federal government should increase funding to ATF for personnel and technical assistance to combat gun violence.
23. Law enforcement agencies should increase investments in technologies and strategies that facilitate intelligence-led investigations.
24. Congress should repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the sharing of gun trace data.
25. State and local governments should mandate the reporting of lost and stolen firearms, and federal law in this area should be tightened.
26. Congress should fully fund the NVDRS, and it should be implemented in all 50 states.
27. Congress should fund the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, and law enforcement agencies should use it consistently; it should also be funded to become integrated nationwide.
28. Law enforcement leaders should provide, and public and private funding should support, training for law enforcement agencies to use the necessary tools to investigate, share information about, and prosecute incidents of gun violence and illegal gun trafficking.
29. State, local, and tribal agencies should forge partnerships with federal law enforcement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, researchers, and other relevant organizations and individuals to investigate and prosecute incidents of gun violence and patterns of illegal gun trafficking. . .
32. Congress should enact legislation to allow federal health and safety oversight of the firearms industry.
33. Congress should enact an effective ban on military-style assault weapons.
34. Congress should enact an effective ban on .50-caliber sniper rifles.
35. Congress should enact an effective ban on armor-piercing handgun ammunition.
