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...

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.

[OldFriend]

We don't call him Mayor Blooming-idiot for nothing!!!!

[longtermmemmory]

Former Democrat Bloomber is just waiting for a pro-gun grabber administration in order to pursue the gun makers. This "objection" is nothing more than an attempt to make more civil litigation where none should exist.

We should view these laws becoming permanent as TORT REFORM.

"Under the terms of H.R. 5005, a detective who shares ATF trace information with another state government for use in a license revocation hearing against a rogue dealer would be committing a federal felony - a crime punishable by up to five years in prison," Bloomberg complained. "In other words, if an NYPD Detective talks to a New Jersey State Trooper about a problem gun dealer problem, that Detective could go to jail."

It's too bad the same thing doesn't happened to BATFE and FBI agents who serve warrants in blatantly unreasonable, and thus Unconstitutional, ways. Or those that apply criminal penalties to paperwork errors, or those that lie about the accuracy of the National Firearms Registry.

If a cop breaks the law, why should he not be punished? Besides it's not clear that these two police exchanging such trace information would not be perfectly OK under the law, if it were for a "criminal prosecution". It just couldn't be used by overzealous local officials to shut down gun dealers not involved in criminal activity, nor to support civil suits with the same end in mind.

[El Gato]

Gardiner continued. "It just says ATF can't do it, but it doesn't provide any penalty if they do."

Which of course means that they will violate this provision on a routine basis. Gone are the days that "the law" obeyed the law, just because it is the law. Of course with the BATFE, those days *never* were.
