Someone should put some deer antlers on ol’ Bloomie during NY’s bow-hunting season opening day. Would be ironic for a gungrabber to be “retired” by Henry Bowman using an arrow.

Bloomberg needs to register as the Democrat that he is.

Bloomberg should be sued for conspiring to deny Constitutional Rights to the citizens of New York.

Bloomie - it ain’t the guns buddy. It’s the thugs that infest your city. Don’t ban guns, ban ignorant thugs.

Considering that NY City is it’s own entity; it’s not a part of the federal government, I don’t see why this is unconstitutional.

Yes, it’s tyrannical. Yes, it’s not a policy position I support, but what about federalism?

Has federalism been slain, even on Free Republic?

(Yes, I’m aware of the judicial activism which have re-written parts of the constitution to fit their mold, and there are plenty of freepers reject judicial activism)

More than anything, does anybody know what they NY State Constitution has to say regarding what Bloomberg is up to?

Ulster Orange Tea Party

Quite the outreach program to Irish Catholic conservatives (yes I know how they got the name, just sayin').

what about federalism?

I'm no legal eagle, but I believe the recent SC decision in the Chicago case also applies to New York. The 14th Amendment requires states to give their citizens equal protection, therefore a city can't be more restrictive than the state.

Hey Mike. Can I call you Mike, because I feel like I know each of your two brain cells personally? Let me put this into simple financial terms that maybe even you can understand. No branch of government in the US, jointly or singularly, has the ability to raise anywhere near enough cash to even beging to pay all the death benefits for the jack booted thugs who are going to get themselves perished trying to take our guns. Capice?

“Federalism?”
It's in the second bleepin’ amendment off the Constitution! The “People” have the right to bear arms, period! That trumps any a-hole Nanny State Mayor, especially one that bought his way to a 3rd term.

Ah yes, Bloomberg using the old saw of calling every gun ‘illegal’ despite there being a 2nd Amendment.
The leftists call anything they disagree with ‘illegal’.

Too bad it is a loser issue for Obama, and he will run from it without looking back.

Bloomberg is going no where with this, because he is not addressing the real problem. Another smokescreen for a gutless politician that cannot face up to a ghetto crime wave without stripping everyone of their Constitutional rights.

What is a “problematic gun show?”

Fear the tyrant that fears your gun.

>> “Hell Yes, change is coming!” <<

.
Only if Palin or equal is elected.

If its Perry, he’ll probably have Bloomberg in his cabinet. He likes NY RINOs.
