"By prosecuting this woman and seeking 3 1/2 years of jail, we are shooting our own [gun-control] efforts in the foot and giving the rest of the country ammunition,” Vallone said.

It seems that he is more interested in keeping unconstitutional state power than in justice.

I posted this on another thread about the same incident:

I know which states I can travel armed in and which I cant.
I do believe she should have had this information before leaving her home state.

that being said....NYC and to an even greater extent, NJ are by their actions guilty of defying the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution...and if we had a decent US Attorney General, there would be investigations and arrests of these criminals...one criminal I would arrest would be Mayor Bloomberg of NYC....he defecates on the Constitution, not just over the 2nd amendment, but the 1st and Lord knows how many other amendments. You cant put salt or trans-fats in the food you sell...thanks to Bloomberg.

my pre-written response to all things Bloomberg:
Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating Jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemy’s first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult

this story is really depressing. That they would prosecute this woman so aggressively is a travesty.

Funny, I went to a Bass Pro in Tx and they had a checkpoint with a sign that said “check firearms here”

I asked the security guy if I had to check in CCW.
He said “Aww hell naw! That’s for repairs and returns!”

Once this story made front-page news it became a serious political dilemma for New York City officials. On the one hand they are hell-bent on maintaining their own police state with no respect for Constitutional rights, but at the same time they can’t use these heavy-handed tactics on tourists who represent a huge chunk of the city’s business income and tax revenues.

“Clearly, the laws are too strict here, but that’s something we need to work out for ourselves without honoring licenses to carry guns in states where felons can carry them,” he said.

I'm generally familiar with guns laws in other states - certainly make sure I know regarding states I'm traveling through. But...are there states where "felons can carry them?"

I avoid New York and New Jersey like the plague. Nothing good can come from going into or thru those states.

Graves had a .32-caliber Kel-Tec handgun in her purse when she went to the memorial on Dec. 22 and tried to check it with a cop after she saw a sign reading “No Guns.”

And the lesson is to ignore the "No Guns" signs (just like criminals do) because even trying to do the right thing will get you in as much trouble as getting caught for not doing the right thing.

Strawman argument.

There are no such states.

Yeah, how sick that they call for mercy to further their insane cause, rather than mercy because it’s warranted. Liberal Democrats are part of the Axis of Evil.

Which states allow that?

The law is doing what it is designed to do, make felons out of those who don't toe the legislator's line.

Will he ofer the same excuse for ALL others in a similar predicament against HIS law? Why is this lady special?

They seem to be feeling embarrassed by the police state they have created.
