Just as I was actually coming around to the possibility of voting for this guy...

[bad company]

Yup that'll do it. One more gun law. Yep.

[Prime Choice]

This is what the "big tent" crap gets you every time: Liberals masquerading as Republicans.

[freepatriot32]

exactly how small is mayor loonbergs brain and how big is his vagina?If this moron had any self respect he would resign now and defect to Cuba where his ideological brethren have been hanging out for decades

"We need to do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and out of the hands of children," said Bloomberg. "There's just no argument here. Guns kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

Spoken like a true Republican.

And to think, I thought fraud was against the law.

[spodefly]

BTTT

[Caipirabob]

As has been suggested by so many thoughful FReepers out there, in response to anything Bloomberg dictates, a simple but firm "Not likely, no thank you." should suffice for this highly concentrated spec of irrelevancy.

[sergeantdave]

This guy is a left wing fascist. Is there any formal procedure in the national by-laws to throw him out of the Republican party?

[Sloth]

"There's just no argument here. Guns kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

Out of the hands of police, too, right?

[hoosierboy]

"We need to do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and out of the hands of children," said Bloomberg. "There's just no argument here. Guns kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

I suggest he start with the police officers and his personal bodyguards. We don't anyone killed now do we.

[Rodney King]

it's time to get them off the street.

I hate that phrase, it's not like you walk down the street and there are guns laying around.

[1Old Pro]

Gun makers and dealers are only held liable when they do not comply with a strict code of conduct regulating sales and transfers of their weapons to keep them out of the hands of criminals, Bloomberg said.

This will only happen once or twice. And those few instances will never be financially significant events to a manufacturer. This legislation is simply more touchy feely worthless gun legislation.

[JCEccles]

This attack is on gun owners everywhere, not just in NYC. The enormous costs generated by this law will be distributed generally throught the gun manufacturers' ownership base.

Liberals are working hard to destroy the Second Amendment through vexatious civil lawsuits. The question is, is there a sufficient majority on the Supreme Court to reverse the trend? Presently I would have to say there is not.

[paulcissa]

Bloomberg...What a maroon. This guy's the poster child for America's RINO's. He might as well be David Dinkens.

Thanks Mike, but no thanks. All the existing laws haven't kept handguns out of the hands of your beloved criminal population; a few more couldn't hurt your image, right? At least it appears like your doing something for your constituants and financial supporters. Yeah, that's the ticket.

One-term Mikey. Might as well stir the pot as much as you can now, times almost up.

[CPOSharky]

...sales at a gun show without performing a criminal-background check.

Come and get me Mikey, I've done that several times.

[Ghengis]

I am no attorney, but...

...To me it makes more legal sense that the Mayor be held personally liable for each case of a person being victimized of a violent crime in New York City. Particularly since the city politicians are so hellbent on removing a citizen's God given right to defend themselves.

I don't see how people can live in a place like that.

[ORECON]

Well well, Micky came out of the DemocRat closet?

[kevao]

"There's just no argument here. Guns kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

None of my guns have ever killed anyone. Must be defective.

[jmc813]

I am so donating money to whatever Democrat runs against this $hithead.

[JoeV1]

Someone please answer the following for me.


Scenario 1- I am a gun mfr, I produce a pistol and sell it to a wholesaler or a gun shop owner. All paperwork is in order, all rules and regs have been followed. I am paid for my pistol and the deal is finished.

Gun shop owner sells gun to my neighbor. Gun shop owner fails to do necessary back round check before turning over gun to my neighbor. neighbor goes home, fights with wife, kills same.

Scenario-2 same as above only the gun shop owner does complete properly the back round check and my neighbor goes home with the gun. After a week he realizes he doesn't want the gun and sells it to a friend, no back round check no anything, a quick and simple cash transaction. Said friend kills his wife with gun.

Is the gun mfr responsible in either of these cases and if so what is the reasoning under this law?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this seemingly absurd law.
