THIS IS POETIC JUSTICE!!! NY is one of the toughest states on gun control in the country. It is almost impossible to get through the bureaucratic maze to get a gun permit. Carrying an unlicesned handgun will land you in jail. The gangsters have the weapons while most of the law-abiding citizens don't. Yet, Bloomberg gets on his soap box and condemns firearms every chance he gets.
Bloomie's point is that the criminals' guns used in NYC crime are bought legally in VA, PA, FL, etc., and then wind up in NYC. He wants to control LEGAL gun access in OTHER states--that's what makes him particularly to disturbing to folks like us and the NRA.
