Bloomberg is a billionaire who is like the other left wingers who want the Constitution destroyed so they can be the dictators.

Anyone who is a left winger is anti-Amwerican, against the Constitution and should be in jail for treason.

If the RNC had any sense, they would sue the clown for putting an (R) behind his name.

"Reporters worthy of the name would have pointed out that buying a gun for a family member or friend as a gift is not a straw purchase. It's a violation of the law only to buy a gun for a prohibited person. "

This is absolutely dead wrong, and I am surprised it originated from N.R.A. Anyone who accepts the transfer (not just purchase) of a firearm from an FFL commits a straw purchase if he does it on behalf of another person. There is no exception for family members, nor does it matter whether the third party is eligible to own the thing or not.

See page 4 of the instructions on form 4473.

Bloomberg ought to get his head out of his @$$ on the gun issue. NYC is a shooting gallery. It’s not law-abiding citizens doing the shooting, it’s street thugs. Just yesterday a 92 year old woman in the Bronx was gunned down by a stray bullet. If “do-gooder Bloomberg had the onions, he’d reinstitute the street crime unit and order them to go after the armed thugs (like they used to). Of course he’d have to get Sharpton’s permission.

I have been to lots of gun shows and have never seen any of these lawless transactions. Must be a NY state thing.

New York City's mayor, Michael Bloomberg was in his element in announcing "a wide-ranging undercover investigation by the City of New York into illegal gun sales" ...

There are a lot of gun shows in the City of New York?
