	PROJECT EXILE
		Project Exile is an aggressive, innovative, and creative approach to reducing the murder rate, by changing the culture of violence in Richmond through a comprehensive, multi-dimensional strategy.
		Project Exile has been an innovative community outreach and education initiative, using various media to get the message to the criminals that illegal guns are unacceptable, and will not be tolerated.
		Project Exile is named for the idea that if the police catch a criminal in Richmond with a gun, the criminal has forfeited his right to remain in the community.

	Project Exile Error
		Under Project Exile, crimes typically prosecuted at the state level -- such as possession of a firearm by a former felon, drug user, or illegal alien -- are handled in federal court, where mandatory minimum sentences and the possibility of serving time out of state are said to provide a stronger deterrent.
		The statutes Exile is based on flagrantly violate the 10th Amendment, which states that powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states or to the people.
		Exile practically guarantees the proliferation of such cases by hiring full-time antigun prosecutors who only bring cases under one narrow slice of the criminal code.

	Project Exile: A Flawed Approach to Preventing Gun Violence
		Project Exile and its derivatives are one part of that agenda.
		Exile offends our constitutional separation of powers by federalizing street crime and damages both the federal and local justice systems by clogging federal courts with individual small-time criminal cases and creating a false impression that state courts are incapable of handling serious crime.
		Any group that claims to support better regulation of firearms cannot in good conscience support Project Exile, or any legislation that promotes it, unless they are willing to sacrifice another generation of young men of color and their communities to unfair treatment by the justice system in order for a short-term political gain.

	Signs of the Times - Project Exile
		Project Exile, born here three years ago and now touted in Washington, D.C., as a means of curbing gun violence nationwide, is credited with helping to significantly reduce the number of guns on Richmond's streets and, as a result, the incidence of violent crime.
		Project Exile was conceived during a round of meetings with federal and state prosecutors and city police, who in 1996 were puzzling over how to get at the core of Richmond's biggest problem: the sheer number of guns on the street.
		Local authorities found that because those arrested under Project Exile were not being released on bail, people in the community were far more willing to come forward and provide police with information about other crimes in which the suspects were involved.

	Op-Ed: Project Exile No Impact on Crime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The big reason for supporting the enforcement of federal gun laws (all of which the gun lobby opposed) called for by supporters of Project Exile is to lower crime and take the oomph out of gun control.
		It was the first year that the anti-gun politicians of the city were forced to comply with the rest of the state and come under the "shall issue" concealed carry law as in the rest of the state (and in Virginia).
		Supporters of Project Exile (or its sequel, Project Safe Neighborhoods) would better spend their time working for reforms in the nation's concealed carry laws rather than enforcing laws that not only are unconstitutional, but have nothing to do with fighting crime.
