NYC Mayor's Criticism of Gun Legislation Challenged

The left just keeps up its attempt to eradicate the Second Amendment to appease its fear of why the Second Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights to begin with. They worry alot when they look in the mirror...

Note what party Bloomberg belongs to.

Bloomberg also chastised supporters of the bill, claiming that it would, "actually treat police officers like criminals."

Last I heard NYC already does a pretty good job of this by not letting law enforcement from outside of NYC carry while in-town on official business .

Bloomie is a panty waste.

[HEY4QDEMS]

What a maroon!

Back alley gun deals in NY are in the millions of dollars every year. The sad part is that a large chunk of purchases are being made by otherwise law abiding citizens.

Time to take on Albany, New York

NYC: Smoking: Bloomberg lied, bars died

FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.

[Joe Brower]

Bloomberg sucks, and his latest crusade could do some damage. His current anti-gun efforts bear watching.

Why does this surprise ANYONE?! New York adn NYC was a Great Britain Tory stronghold during the Revolution. NY was NEVER really onboard with the American Revolution.

[Dead Corpse]

F*ck Bloomberg. Recall his RINO arse...

[goldstategop]

Bloomie's real objection has nothing to do with the restrictions endangering police officers' lives and everything to do with their halting New York City's bid to shake down the gun industry in court for cash. That's what really has his goat - follow the money.

Bloomburg is a left-wing pansey Democrat.

He only ran as a Republican as he couldn't run on the Democrat Ticket for Mayor of New York.

I'd be happier if this weiney New York liberal went back where he belongs - the Democrat Party.

Note what party Bloomberg belongs to.

He was a RAT before he became a RINO just so he could run for mayor of NYC.

[bill1952]

Any great Republican leaders emerge from NY?

Any?

[neverdem]

Bloomy proposed a change to the City Charter in which political parties had no standing and the choice would just be amongst individual candidates. Non-political elections flopped BIG TIME.

Hi All-

Even conservative voters got caught up in the euphoria that a "businessman" would be running New York and didn't bother to look at everything else important to him. There is essentially nothing about Bloomberg that anyone would call "conservative" in nature. The two officeholders before him (Mayor Giuliani & Mayor Dinkins) were also big gungrabbers.

Many people in that city are a lost cause...they've become such nannystaters that they can't imagine, even for a moment, doing something themselves rather than relying on someone from the government. Shaking in their boots at home because they're too afraid to walk to the video store or whatever. It's really pathetic.

Teddy Roosevelt

Teddy Roosevelt was great.

He and Ronald Reagan were the only truly great presidents of the 20th century.

[noobiangod]

In fact, a law enforcement agency request for ATF to trace the ownership of a firearm - from manufacturer to distributor to retailer to buyer - does not necessarily indicate that the firearm was used in the commission of a crime or even that it was illegally possessed.

That statement is absolutely true. I know a police officer that had a trace run on his first duty weapon, a Beretta 92F, just for nostalgia's sake. Just because a trace is run does not mean the gun was connected with any crime.

NYC is a cess pool,and many of its insane and illegal laws spread to the rest of the state.He doesn't need to worry,his armed bodyguards will take care of him.Wonder what they cost a year?NY would give a scummer like Sean Penn a CCF,but a good citizen,forget it.[Calif.did].
