Gun Owner Asks Georgia AG to Investigate Bloomberg

Mr. Thurbert E. Baker

Dear Mr. Baker:

As a resident and law-abiding gun owner of Georgia, I am outraged at the recent illegal straw gun purchases made by an “investigative team” assembled at the behest of Mayor Bloomberg of New York City.

Mayor Bloomberg continuously attacks the civil liberties of law-abiding gun owners in this country and has taken it upon himself to destroy these liberties by targeting gun stores throughout the country, including some stores in Georgia such as Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna. In order to gain publicity for his anti-gun campaign he knowingly conspired and planned illegal straw purchases at these gun stores and violated federal law as well as possible Georgia state laws. His attempts to entrap gun store owners and produce evidence of illegal gun sale procedures at these Georgia gun stores are despicable.

I ask: What is the authority of private individuals from New York to conspire to break, and then actually violate, federal gun purchase laws and the laws of other states?

Mayor Bloomberg’s out-of-touch viewpoints are a threat to all law-abiding gun owners in Georgia as well as law-abiding legitimate businesses in Georgia.

I urge you to launch an investigation into these illicit tactics that were performed to support Bloomberg’s frivolous lawsuits against these legitimate and law-abiding Georgia businesses.

Thank you for your attention into this matter.

Sincerely,

Jason Morin
