Exactly. I find it baffling that so many people here on FreeRepublic would come down on the side of Mayor Michael “Police State” Bloomberg on this issue.

You side with the Trayvons and the thugs who killed the Australian young man and the American old man and the baby in its crib?
You side with the gangbanger killers who have no right to carry but in NYC do, and will now more often since they know the cops have been ordered to comply with this official policy of `salutary neglect’.
So now NYC will likely become like Chicago—a killing field, because the thugs will be packing without fear of being arrested. At least they should continue to shoot one another, if the Chicago model rings true.
But the important thing is—you see no difference between say, FReepers—us—and gangbangers, and you don’t credit the police with having enough common sense to tell the difference?
Man, I find that baffling. Maybe it’s because you’re from up north .... the Constitution isn’t a suicide pact, AC.

Exactly. It's shocking how many "conservatives" are willing to enable an intrusive, bigger government so long as that government is wearing a badge.
