NYC Keeps Breaking Free
Looks like NYC is moving to combat other threats (it already has a significant anti-terror force deployed around the globe) –
Last year, Bloomberg’s office hired private investigators who wore hidden cameras while trying to make “straw purchases” from federally licensed gun dealers in Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia. The goal was to prove that out-of-state stores contribute to crime in New York City.
Feds and gun lobby don’t like it –
Five months ago, The Second Amendment Foundation called on U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to investigate Bloomberg for obstruction of justice relating to Bloomberg’s “rogue” operation.
SAF founder Alan Gottlieb said he has just received a letter from W. Larry Ford of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, confirming that the agency “is investigating the matter in order to determine if violations of federal firearms laws occurred.”
But its definitely the right move on the part of the city.
