CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - New York City has sent out undercover investigators to catch gun dealers violating background check laws. But West Virginia lawmakers want to make it a crime for investigators to conduct such sting operations in West Virginia.

The Legislature passed a measure Saturday that targets anyone who tries to entice a firearms dealer or private seller under circumstances that the individual knows is unlawful.

GOOD, because it IS.

FUNYC

Wait, NY actually sent investigators to another state to investigate?

Bastards were doing it in Virginia, until VA outlawed it.

A couple locals should sit outside their hotel rooms and play “dueling banjos.” I hear banjo music makes some big city types very nervous.

[ArrogantBustard]

Good idea ..

Couple of big "Bubbas" greet 'em ... "Y'all ain't from 'round heah, areya?

[Sybeck1]

If soo, they should be arrested and jailed.

Some states are waking up.

Where do you hear that? Lotta liberal banjo players.

Great move!

Tell Bloomie to take his crime ridden city and shove it.
Certain “types” should be banned from possessing firearms.

They’ve been doing this for years.

I remember going to Alabama back in the late 70s. I was tan and fit and muscular(those were the days). The locals took a look at me and almost all of them said, “Nice tan, ya’ll ain’t from around here, are ya?”. Kind of makes you a little edgy,if you know what I mean.

Go read up on the debates about The Sullivan Act.

Oh, yeah, Bloomberg’s excuse for not being able to control crime in his little Marxist paradise is that other people in other states still have the odd scrap of freedom. Damn them.

[Still Thinking]

Have nothing on the hotel TV but the 1991 movie Nothing But Trouble and 2003's Wrong Turn

[sig226]

They did it in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida. I didn’t know about West Virginia.

[Still Thinking]

Nevada, Ohio, and Tennessee too, I believe.

[sig226]

I saw that when I read the article. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Mike Bloomberg spent his considerable fortune busting drug gangs in the projects instead of harassing business owners and committing federal crimes?

[Still Thinking]

He’s a tyrant. They can’t bust criminals or attorneys because of professional courtesy.
