And also sue the plastic industry for making those mythical guns that are not detectable by screeners.
Exactly. It's not like someone making a straw purchase isn't going to LIE about it.
(The undercover investigators attempted "straw purchases,'' in which the buyer completes the paperwork and passes the background check, but later hands over the weapon to someone else who is not allowed to own a firearm.)
WTF! The lawsuit should be dismissed immediately as frivolous as the gun shop didn't do anything illegal. This is harrassment pure and simple. Bloomberg should be sued for conspiracy to violate citizen's second amendment rights.
Yes...and a hugh story.
LOL! That seems to be the way we are headed. I can see it now - sellers of raw steel will have to get a promise from buyers that they won't use their steel to make guns.
While we are laughing at the absurdity some liberal somewhere is probably thinking this would actually be a good idea.
Bloomberg must get advice from AG Spitzer.
Did NY advise the local authorities about the NY sting outside the state?
They better have a story other than paperwork.
If the dealter was overt in knowing this was a straw man deal then they have problems.
It is interesting the article burries the fact 30 dealers had no issue.
Please do. Seriously.
New York need to understand it does not run the United States.
Welcome to Georgia, boys.
Geez...I once sold a car to somebody who used it in an armed robbery....will the loony tunes be coming for me next?
Well said!
Please, keep Bloomberg. He's boring.
And also sue the plastic industry for making those mythical guns that are not detectable by screeners.
Let's throw in the toilet/sink manufacturers for good measure. They make porcelain. I love this debunked quote.....
That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It dosen't show up on you airport X-ray machines, and it cost more than you make here in a month.

The Glock is polymer.....and Austrian.
Something about this story doesn't ring true, since (as you pointed out) this would be the height of idiocy even by New York City standards.
I'm wondering if the facts as presented by 1010 WINS are accurate.
Some Glock models are made in...Georgia.
When you buy the gun, doesnt one sign that you aree purchasing it for yourself. So what these agents did was illegal by signing under penalty of law that they were purchasing it for themselves. Whay arent the agents in trouble for lieing on a federal form????
Absolutely! As Ann Coulter has pointed out Liberals will only stop abusing the legal system when it is used against them. 20 years of bogus Special Prosecutor malfesence came to an end after the Clinton Whitewater scandal. This is exactly what needs to be done. New York still thinks it is "first among states". Perhaps the Governor of Ohio should stop every car leaving the state w/ NY Tags and search them guns. Other states need to push back at Bloomberg hard.
Let us not forget Bloomberg is a Republican, just like his Rudy. Niether is trustworthy.
Yes....and some Berettas are made in my homestate. They're still Italian.
In other news, Federal U.S. Attorneys for Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia charged several New York private investigators for 15 counts of straw man sales of firearms. The P.I.s posed as legal purchasers and then turned over the firearms to felons. One felon purports to be mayor of NYC.
