I always wondered how Bob's Good Ole Boy Gun, Archery, Bait and Civil War Relics Shop could be the problem 300 miles away in the Rotten Apple. Mayor Loonyberg can mandate installing a video buyer recordig system, but did NOT detail NYPD officers to provide security to prevent the robbery in which a couple of dozen handguns and half a dozen semi-auto rifles were stolen by an armed gang. No one knows where THOSE guns went, but we know a dealer can't break the law and remain in business. Hard enough to make it doing everything by the ATF Bible.
If our rights in Free America are Bloomberg's problem, he might as well get comfortable. The wait for them to go away will be a looooong one.
Maybe he'll try some more, now that he has bent the law to make himself elegible for yet another term.
Freedom wasn't won with a registered gun or by a registered gun owner. Private sales are a strong tradition here. Ain't nobody's business if you do.

Good deal - but the decision was only 5-4, so this isn't over.
