An astounding memo from the director of the National Institute of Justice, says that most of the gun laws in the country have no effect on crime rates, and that mandatory government confiscation of privately-owned firearms would be needed to change anything.
It also says that universal background checks would be ineffective, unless accompanied by a program of nationwide gun registration.
You have to wonder how long the Democrats will keep telling us that background checks will never lead to registration, or that such registration and other gun laws are NOT a first step toward confiscation.
The Justice Dept. is already backpedaling like mad, and trying to distance themselves from the memo.

Leaked DOJ Memo: Outlaw and Confiscate All Guns... | RedFlagNews.com
The nine page cursory summary on current gun control initiatives was not officially released by the Obama administration.
The DOJ memo (downloadable here http://static.infowars.com/2013/02/i/general/nij-gun-policy-memo.pdf as a PDF) states the administration believes that a gun ban will not work without mandatory gun confiscation, according to the NRA, and thinks universal background checks wont work without requiring national gun registration.
The memo stands in stark contrast to the administrations public stance on so-called gun control. White House spokesman Jay Carney said last month that laws proposed by Obama would not take away a gun from a single law-abiding American.
The memo was written by the acting director of the Justice Departments National Institute of Justice, Greg Ridgeway. It is dated January 4, two weeks before Obama mounted his attack on the Second Amendment following the Sandy Hook massacre. Ridgeway came to the Justice Department from the RAND corporation.
The memo says universal background checks on firearms purchases may help the government push to control and eventually outlaw firearms, but it would lead to an increase in illegally purchased guns.
DOJ memo states: Buybacks are ineffective unless massive and coupled with a ban.
It pointed out that banning high capacity ammunition clips would be ineffective due to the fact there is a large number of them already in circulation.
A Justice Department official said the memo is an unfinished review of gun violence research and does not represent administration policy.
