The fact that your campaign against this protective language consisted of overheated rhetoric, deception and falsehoods is disturbing."<ref name="NSSF"/> | In his resignation letter to Bloomberg, Mayor Harry Moore stated: "It is simply unconscionable that this coalition, under your leadership, would call for a repeal of the Shelby /Tiahrt amendment that helps to safeguard criminal investigations and the lives of law enforcement officers, witnesses and others by restricting access to firearms trace data solely to law enforcement.
