An ad campaign is being launched today to try to force New York City's gun-control laws on Virginians. The ads running in the commonwealth are funded by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. The mayor should keep his big-government politics north of the Mason-Dixon Line where they belong.
Mr. Bloomberg donated $500,000 last year to a gun-control lobbying outfit called Americans United for Safe Streets, which is running the campaign. The mayor's largesse accounts for 99.5 percent of all money raised by the group. The ads are pegged to the second anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings and link that carnage to the so-called gun-show loophole. This is part of a broader media campaign. On Friday night, ABC aired a heavily promoted, hourlong special that tied gun shows to the Virginia Tech murders and advocated clamping down on gun shows.

The a-hole ought to stay out of Virginia’s business. Who the hell does he think he is? Knowing how Virginians feel about their guns, their gun laws, and Yankee Libtards telling them what to do, this could backfire on him.
Forgot to say: He is escorted everywhere he goes by armed guards. Guns for me but not for thee, nor for Virginians. Hypocrite.
Turnabout’s fair play, if a NYC resident goes out of NYC and commits a crime, then sue Bloomy for not controling them better, sue J.C. Penny for selling them the shoes they were wearing and GM for making the car they drove.
Yes there is. There is Obozo.
When Bloomberg last tried to interfere in Virginia by sending his goons down to make straw purchases, Democrat governor Mark Warner sent him and his thugs packing, warning that the next time they show up, they would be looking at hard jail time. I expect Kaine to react similarly since nothing is more radioactive to Virginia politicians than gun control and outsiders Like Bloomers trying to tell the Commonwealth what to do.
