More Gun Shops Cave In to Bloomberg

"It was going to cost $50,000 in attorney's fees," said Rick Morketter, manager of Dick's Pawn, of North Myrtle Beach. "We wanted to take the path of least resistance."
Unless the gun shops take it on themselves to organize and amass a legal war chest to ward off these kinds of attacks, they will continue.

I understand the stores are caught between a rock and a hard place. That said, I refuse to buy a gun where an appointee for that tyrant is going to "monitor" the transaction.

And just for the record, guys, when you settle with Bloomberg, you're admitting to the world that you're "the worst of the worst...immoral...irresponsible...[and] bad apples."

One other thing: Bloomberg would not be able to do this were he not aided and abetted by Judas privateers, in this case, the law firm of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman and the James Mintz Group.

Strange, as I could have sworn the feds told BloominUsurperberg to "back off"? Guess one doesn't have to pay attention to the rules when one is filthy rich?

I'm waiting for one of these 'monitored' gun shops to get dinged by the ATF.

As soon as it happens they should sue Bloomberg and their 'monitor' for as big a number as they can fit on the form for failing to keep the infraction from happening.

I just wrote about an idea of mine, for a law that would prevent that kind of deal. I'd be curious to see what folks think of it (if you think it's stupid, don't try to sugarcoat it--I've had enough stupid ideas in my life that I'm fairly accustomed to it).

Since Bloomberg has violated laws himself these gun shops should just refuse to appear in any court or to deal with Bloomberg and his minions at all. They should tell them since their actions are illegal that they have no legal authority over the gun shops.
