I suggest that you look into that suit. Manufacturers were flooding the N.Y.C. market with guns.

So you're saying that so many firearms were shipped to the N.Y.C. market that the prices dropped below cost? That's what happens when a market is flooded. At minimum, if a regional market is flooded, prices there will be below prices elsewhere. Did that happen in N.Y.C.?

If a firearm dealer has 20 Lorcins on the shelf and someone walks in and buys the lot, the dealer will be required by statute and regulation to inform the BATF but not the manufacturer or distributor. If the BATF doesn't do anything with the information, how is that the manufacturer's or distributor's fault?

No, they weren't.

Rudy was trying to control how many guns could be legally sold in other states, as a way to keep guns out of his state. It's the same thing he's dreamed about for years. The man is obsessed.

He said when he announced the lawsuit that gun manufacturers had produced many more weapons than could be need for the "legitimate" purposes of hunting and law enforcement. Apparently self-defense is illegitimate. Apparently he wants gunmankers to produce only as many weapons as the police force needs, and let gunshops nationwide go out of business. And apparently a lot of so-called capitalists and conservatives are just dandy with that.

I suppose he thought he was really moderating his position when he told Larry King he only wanted gun control on handguns. Yeah, way to bend, Rudy.
