  • Mayor Bloomberg still running gun scams

    The New York Daily News reveals today that Michael Bloomberg is still paying investigators to attempt illegal gun buys in other states. This time Nanny Bloomberg went after gun shows in Ohio, Tennessee and Nevada.

    The Daily News writer, Celeste Katz, didn't bother to print a response from Second Amendment groups, so the piece might as well be a press release dictated by Bloomberg. From the article, it also doesn't seem she understands the difference between a Federally-licensed firearm dealer [FFL] and a private individual selling a gun, or that the vast majority of firearms sales at gun shows are only finalized after a background check is completed.

    And to top it all off, at the bottom of the story the Daily News embeds an anti-gun-show propaganda video produced by the City of New York.

    Reason.tv has named New York City's busybody mayor, Michael Bloomberg, as its 2009 Nanny of the Year. They don't mention Bloomberg's hostility to private gun ownership in the video, which makes him suck even more.

  • Times Square Shooting

    Posted on 12. Dec, 2009 by Runcible in gun crime, Michael Bloomberg, NYC

    New York's Mayor Bloomberg is exploiting a recent shooting in Times Square to once again hassle Virginia about its gun laws.

    The incident occurred on Thursday morning, when an unlicensed vendor began shooting at cops after one asked to see his permit. In short order the shooter was killed by police.

    The unlicensed vendor was not very competent with his weapon, according to the New York Post:

    When scam artist Raymond "Ready" Martinez held the MAC-10-style gun parallel to the ground, it caused the ejecting shells to "stovepipe," or get caught vertically in the chamber, the sources said. The gun is designed to be fired only in a vertical position.
