The federal government will not file criminal charges against any of the 15 out-of-state gun dealers accused by Mayor Bloomberg in a federal lawsuit of selling guns illegally, the Daily News has learned.
In a stern rebuke to the city's high-profile crusade against illegal guns, the feds warned the Bloomberg administration that it could face "potential legal liabilities" if it continues to conduct sting operations that fall within the jurisdiction of federal agents.

Looks like the Feds don't want the Iotians muscling in on their territory. What were we just saying about gangland turf wars?
I wonder if Bloomberg knows how to play Fizzbin?

Let's make sure that all understand the BATF***Everybody's position on this.
They are not concerned about the criminal activities of Bloomberg and his minions, only about his infringement on their turf, while breaking the laws BATF***Everybody is supposed to enforce.
Does that about cover it?
Yeah, that seems to be the case.
On one hand this is good news. We won't have lawyers being paid for by taxpayers on BOTH sides of the arguement not getting anywhere but racking up huge expenses.
I'm still unclear on if the straw purchasers were from NYC or the states?
Bloomturd should do some hard time with the cop from Columbus, for starters.
Here's one for BloominIdiotberg, and the usurping fed;
"...The Officers also are to exert themselves, to the utmost to prevent every kind of abuse to private property, or to bring every Offender, to the punishment he deserves; shameful it is to find that these men, who have come hither in defence of the rights of mankind, should turn invaders of it, by destroying the substance of their friends.
"The burning of Houses, where the apparent good of the Service is not promoted by it, and the pillaging of them, at all times, and upon all Occasions, is to be discountenanced and punished with the utmost severity. In short, it is to be hoped, that men who have property of their own, and a regard for the rights of others, will shudder at the thought of rendering any Man's Situation, to whose protection he had come, more insufferable, than his open and avowed Enemy would make it, when by duty and every rule of humanity, they ought to Aid, and not Oppress, the distressed in their habitations.
"The distinction between a well regulated Army, and a Mob, is the good order and discipline of the first, and the licentious and disorderly behaviour of the latter; Men, therefore, who are not employed, as mere hirelings, but have steped forth in defence of every thing that is dear and Valuable, not only to themselves but to posterity, should take uncommon pains to conduct themselves with uncommon propriety and good Order, as their honor, reputation &c. call loudly upon them for it...."

Hmmmm, "The burning of Houses" you say Sir? George, how do you spell WACO?
Didn't some shop owners strike deals early on with Bloomberg? Where does this leave them?
I'd assume still screwed unless they want to pony up the legal fees to unravel everything...this appears to be a cease and desist with further stings...but it's an interesting question and I'm only guessing, so the most honest answer I can give you is "I don't know."
