With a big-city summit set for Tuesday, Mayor Bloomberg's war on traffickers is bringing results, but weapons keep flowing into his city as fast as police can seize them...In the bitter pre-dawn cold of a Sunday morning in February in the borough of Queens, members of New York's Operation Tripod pounced as gun traffickers from Ohio sought to close the type of big-money deal that keeps the so-called Iron Pipeline humming.Maybe if they can't stop the flow of guns they ought to see what they're doing over in India...?
Never mind.
Here's a bit I found interesting:
Thomas King, president of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, the National Rifle Association affiliate in the state, says legal gun owners are being harassed because of the actions of criminals.Really, Mr. King?
Although he says he backs Bloomberg's plans to clean New York's streets of illegal weapons, he insists the key to accomplishing that is better enforcement of existing laws, not new regulations on the books.
Assuming the reporter hasn't misquoted you, you're saying enforce the Sullivan Laws? You're saying keep Big Apple citizens disarmed under force of law and punish those who defy such edicts?
I'd love to know what you actually said to the press, Mr. King, and the rationale behind it. Consider this an open invitation to clarify any misunderstanding this report may have created in the minds of gun owners.
New York has always amazed me. In that it is so close to where it all began for our Country. And yet they live as if they are the farthest away from the founding principles. Baffling.
ReplyDeleteBaffling as toilet flush in the diarrhea ward. Saw some confab or other on CNN Sat. at some famous hall or other in Boston. John Kerry, the famous coward,liar,and socialist par excellence, got a standing O before he began some drone about "Iraq,Vietnam, and the War", that lasted about two minutes. Wasn't it Lexington and Concord, some 231 years ago, where the colonists deigned to prevent the British swine from disarming them, in Massachusetts? To say the residents of Mass. have devolved into bleating sheep is understated. They are enthusiastic sheep, and lustily applaud a system so obviously failed, that only intellectuals can ignore it. To everyone that will listen to me, I say, this country is finished as we know it.What's needed is a plan and a will to reform it as something honorable.
ReplyDeleteNot as baffling when you think about it for a minute; all of the individuals and smarter ones moved out and went west; the others got left behind. I think the same thing happened in the UK; all of the independent types left for the various colonies, and the ones that were left got inbred on their little island.
