The time has long since past to officially purge this nasty, egotistical, left-wing dwarf from the party.

[RockinRight]

This guy is no Republican.

[Bikers4Bush]

So is he going to demand that his police detail not carry weapons too or would that just be crazy talk?

[2banana]

They should disarm all of New York City, starting with the mayor and his security team...

"The time has long since past to officially purge this nasty, egotistical, left-wing dwarf from the party."

Here, Here! Is there any facet of individual liberty or behavior this idiot doesn't want to intrude into?

[Citizen Tom Paine]

It is not what is in a person's hand that counts, but what is in his mind. A gun is a tool. Any tool can be used to kill someone.

[RandallFlagg]

Ugh!

And for all who thought it was good for smokers to suffer. We told you what'd be next.

Ping.

[international american]

Take all the guns, then stand back and watch the show.

[funkywbr]

So glad I left the little nazi state of NY!

[areafiftyone]

I wish the media would stop saying Bloomberg is a Republican. He is a Democrat who just got on the Republican ticket because the Democrat ticket was too crowded! He even said he's not a Republican!

[xcamel]

That makes car makers responsible for drunk driving,

Cashiers responsible for robberies,

Forrest managers responsible for suburban sprawl,

AC mfgrs responsible for Legionaries Disease,

et-friggin-cetera.

"For the first time in the nation, gun makers and dealers are now liable for injuries or deaths caused by the criminal use of their weapons"

Snicker.....Good luck you moron.

[taxcontrol]

If you want to see how stupid of an idea this is, simply substitute the word 'car' for the word 'gun'. After all, cars kill thousands more people each year than guns.

[RexBeach]

So when does the mayor plan on going after the folks who make Checker Cabs? Or Ford, GM, Diamler-Benz/Chrysler? After all, more than 40-thousand people a year are killed in auto accidents in the US. That's more than handguns, ain't it?

Mayor Bloomberg is a maggot. Ah. There, I've said and I'm feeling better for it.

[shekkian]

"There's just no argument here. Guns kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun.

[spodefly]

Does this law also allow people to sue General Motors when they get hit by a drunk driver in a Chevy?

[Disambiguator]

So who makes the guns that the NYPD uses? They will probably stop doing business in and with the city to reduce their liability exposure.

[Finalapproach29er]

There must an election coming up for the Mayor. This whore politician should be thrown out of the Republican party. IMO

[bubman]

Isn't NYC a bleeding heart liberal bastion anyways? I mean he is only scoring points with athe liberal clap trap. Now if this BS passed in Crawford, that would really be a story!

[chudogg]

Is there an exemption on Police weapons? What if a criminal was able to obtain a firearm from the police during a gun fight and committed a crime. I was not able to find any statistics but i have heard that it is quite common. If i was a manufacturer this would make me want to cease contracts with the NY city government. Does NYC sell its used weapons like many other cities do? If so, couldn't that make them liable as well?

[Sam Cree]

IIRC, New York state is home to some gun manufacturing? But I guess the mayor thinks there's no current problem with industries leaving the state, so why not chase a few more away.
