NYC Mayor Conducts Gun-Sale Sting in Arizona

did he inform the local PD of this operation? the Ohio state police?

NOt that I am aware of and that doesn't allow him any jurisdiction anyway. Our attorney general sure didn't

well, I'd like to know the details. They should have let the local or state authorities know, as I bet they would have happily helped out. A lot of mayors are behind Bloomberg on this issue.

however, local authorities are welcome to press charges. Making this a national story is a good thing.

most leftwing mayors are anti gun. Its a way they can pretend they are doing something about "crime" while not pissing off their constituents by cracking down on criminals

well, Doomberg has kept crime dropping. so he's good on that note.
 
I raise my hand, pro-gun here! The basis for the second amendment was to keep the people well-armed so they can support the government if we were under attack AND to provide relief from the government if they attacked the people (I use attack as physical and/or oppression). I think having a gun at home is great, just look at Okla. Woman Shoots, Kills Intruder: 911 Operators Say It's OK to Shoot - ABC News (is that hpw I am supposed to cite sources her? (I am new). Look at countries like Burma (Myannmar) where the people could rise up if they were armed.

Well look at that, the only one with cojones is taxigirl! :D

that is a silly comment. I think honest people ought to shoot criminals, despots, storm troopers, zombies and those who want to ban guns :mrgreen:
 
When someone is convicted of a felony they serve their time completely, and then they can petition and review to have their rights restored. I believe, and I could be wrong, but I believe that is how it is now.

When you commit a felony, especially a violent one, you give up certain rights. You make that choice.

j-mac

petition

Actually it's the government making the decision that they can snatch away someone's fundamental Constitutional rights if they've committed a felony. Where in the Constitution does it say the government can do that?

again that is properly a state power
 
that's not true-he has several buys in Ohio by people who were from NY

And? Is there a law against someone from NY buying guns in Ohio? Isn't it hypocritical for someone who maintains that there should be no gun laws to fall back on a (supposed) violation of gun laws to make his argument?

So now you're saying that there is no constitutional right to gun ownership? You are so confused.

the real hypocrisy (that you are blind to) is a leftwing gun hating POS whining that we need more gun laws when he proves the ones we have are not being enforced against a Liberal POS asswipe who violated them

does your dishonesty know no limits? There is a constitutional right to gun ownership and its not the federal government that rightly has the power to deprive -through due process of law-that right. its states that deprive people of the right to vote. they taught you that in law school didn't they?

No, but there is a law against using false information to make a firearms purchase, there is a law against transporting weapons across state lines after obtaining them illegally, there is a law against conducting police operations outside of jurisdiction, there is a law in many states such as California banning certain firearms and their transportation across those state lines is a seperate felony. I believe NYS has similar banned guns as California. Those are just felonies committed off the top of my head.

So you're claiming that there IS a law in Ohio preventing people from out of state from buying guns in Ohio, yes? :popcorn2:

What they taught me was that states can't willy-nilly deprive people of their constitutional rights. If your position is that there should be no laws infringing on the 2d A. right to bear arms, then it's idiotic to turn around and claim that a state can infringe on your 2d A. right to bear arms.

I guess you really don't understand the tenth amendment and the second was only recently approvingly incorporated as part of the 14th like the first had been

There is an Ohio law stating that one can't give false information in a private gun sale? I don't think so. Thus the guns were not illegally obtained and, if they were transported out of state, that was not a violation either. In short, there was nothing illegal in what Bloomberg did. The sellers, OTOH, were in violation of federal law.

It has been incorporated in the 14th -- thanks for making my point.
 
cite it.

thanks


its against the law to break the law. and since those turds weren't acting in an official capacity they have no defense

Uh there is a federal law that prevents a resident of NY from buying a gun from anyone in Ohio
