Some
33,000 violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs with
about 1.4 million members are criminally active in the U.S. today. Many
are sophisticated and well organized; all use violence to control
neighborhoods and boost their illegal money-making activities, which
include robbery, drug and gun trafficking, fraud, extortion, and
prostitution rings. We’re redoubling our efforts to disrupt and
dismantle gangs through intelligence-driven investigations and new
initiatives and partnerships.
Oh, yeah, then there's this -
According
to statistics from our Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report,
January-June 2012, the number of violent crimes reported by law
enforcement for the first six months of 2012 increased 1.9 percent over
figures from the same period in 2011. Property crimes also rose 1.5
percent overall.
Violent
Crime. Two of the four offenses in the violent crime category actually
showed overall decreases when compared with data from the first six
months of 2011—murders dropped 1.7 percent and forcible rapes fell 1.4
percent. But the number of robberies increased 2.0 percent and
aggravated assaults 2.3 percent.
The question absolutely begs to be asked - - - Just how many guns might one million, four hundred thousand gang members possess? And I'd be real curious to know how many of those guns might be supplied to them via something like Fast and Furious?
