NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – A pair of gunrunners smuggled firearms into New York City by hiding them in luggage they carried on discount buses offering cheap fares and lesser odds of getting caught, authorities said Monday.

The men were captured in a police sting that netted 254 weapons in 45 transactions since last year – the largest total from a gun case in recent memory.

The alleged smugglers, Walter Walker and Earl Campbell, were among 19 people arrested in New York, North Carolina and South Carolina as the result of a 10-month investigation.

Funny Bloombutt does not mention NYC being the cause of demand of manufacture of crack cocaine... or the cause of exportation of CRIME GUNS AND CRIME into other states.

That piece of garbage needs a reality check from his picked selective statistics.

I’d like to get statistics on the number of liberal terrorists places like Boston or NYC manufacture and export throughout the world.

Bloomberg does not like looking at those.

I am shocked! In every ADT commercial on television, blacks are always the victim or the police hero saving the day. They don’t run guns.

How long before we find out that the police created this “crime” to demonstrate how unenlightened places need “common sense laws”?

Everytime I look at the photo you loaded (thank you), I think those fools are accidents waiting to happen. Guess the attendees are supposed to feel safe because the magazines were removed. What if some of the displayed guns were chambered??? Suppose there was a “Major Hasan” standing near that table waiting for the opportunity to take out someone in that room during their cute photo op?

“The arsenal’s most powerful weapons — .45-caliber handguns — “could kill an elephant,” said a law-enforcement source.”

Chortle. An idiot talking about guns.

It seems that most of the MSM is wrong about most of the stuff that I know anything about.

This makes it likely that they are just as clueless about nearly everything that they write about.

Now, if they would do articles about their internal office politics, maybe they would know what they are taling aobut. maybe...
