Why the Delay?

The case of a licensed gun dealer busted 14 months ago as part of Mayor Bloomberg's anti-gun initiative has been stalled repeatedly to give prosecutors time to discuss strategy with City Hall, a lawyer for the defendant claims.

I mean, it's not like Bloomberg's tactics haven't been rebuked--by both the feds and other states.

I wonder what happened to Jack Togati's "right to a speedy...trial"? I guess when someone like Bloomberg gets away with trampling the Second Amendment, there's not much reason for him to fear crossing the line on the Sixth.

The other thing I wonder is why a blog search shows practically nothing about this, and nothing at all presenting Mr. Togati's side of things. I'd think there would be some gun rights advocates in New York who would see the benefit of keeping a light shined on these types of stories.

  1. This just in:

    Mayor Bloomberg's weapons investigators have turned up important evidence that links this case to Virginia. Apparently they found that the right to a speedy trial, as well as other rights, have been produced there for many years, and without rights licensing restrictions. Investigators have been staked out in front of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, and have so far gained some leads in the case.

    If you have any information as to the whereabouts of any members of the "Virginia Convention", please contact the weapons division immediately. Sting operatings conducted by the weapons taskforce have netted copies of the Magna Carta and Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England.

    Mayor Bloomberg commented: "We are aggressively pursuing ways to get these rights off our streets."

  2. I would very much like to see
    Hizzoner, the mayor, spend/waste about thirty or fifty million on a run for the presidency. I would call him a name, but even an asshole has a use.
