Good to know Bloomberg is keeping his citizens safe by “throwing the book” at Plaxico for owning a gun.

He doesn't legally own a gun in NY. What he did was clearly illegal and he should pay for it.

The Second Amendment applies to the whole United States and NY should obey it.

Screw the law when it compromises your God given rights. The right to self-defense is non-negotiable.

Bloomberg, who has been leading a national crusade against illegal guns, noted that under New York law if you are convicted of carrying a loaded illegal handgun “you go automatically to three-and-a-half years in the slammer.”

Plaxico doesn’t deserve to go to jail for 3 1/2 years for having a gun. He has the right to carry a fire arm. Screw New York and their assault on peoples rights.

It’s an unjust law. People have the right to protect themselves, and when the law and one’s God-given right to protect oneself conflict, self-protection comes first.

I live in Oregon, a must-issue CCW state, and am legally licensed to carry, and I do carry. If I did that same thing in NYC I’d go to prison for 3 1/2 years.

Do you not see the unjustice in that?

Shooting himself in the leg was dumb.
But not “legally owning” a gun???

I guess some people haven’t heard of the SECOND AMENDMENT.
