I guess I don't quite understand what this antigun program was supposed to be about. Are armed robberies committed with illegally-obtained guns somehow worse than armed robberies committed with legally obtained guns? Do they require a separate (federal) program? I wouldn't have thought that state and local law-enforcement agencies needed special federal programs to investigate robberies and homicides. This smells like more of a bureaucracy program than a public-safety program, and it's not clear, certainly not from this news story, why we should be upset that it's now unfunded.
