While his city can’t perform basic functions like removing snow and trash, NY’s Mayor Bloomberg is sponsoring sting operations<\/a> across the country at gun shows in Arizona. Somehow, Bloomberg is convinced that Arizona residents shouldn’t be able to purchase guns. The vacuousness of Bloomberg’s reasoning can be found at Think Progress;<\/p>\n

Last month, Jared Lee Loughner shot 19 people in Tuscon, AZ \u2014 including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), a federal judge, and a nine-year-old girl \u2014 with a semi-automatic pistol equipped with a previously illegal high-capacity magazine. Only days later, a Crossroads of the West gun show was held in Phoenix, and investigators from New York City were on hand to see if they could purchase guns and high-capacity magazines without background checks. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, except that Jared Loughner passed a background check. So what’s their point? And the illegal “high capacity” magazines weren’t illegal during the assault weapon ban like the emptyheads at Think Progress and the NYC’s mayor office.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in South Dakota, legislation is working it’s way through the process which requires all South Dakotans who aren’t otherwise forbidden to own handguns to purchase one six months after they become 21;<\/p>\n

The measure is known as an act \u201cto provide for an individual mandate to adult citizens to provide for the self defense of themselves and others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, is sponsoring the bill and knows it will be killed. But he said he is introducing it to prove a point that the federal health care reform mandate passed last year is unconstitutional. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So whether it passes or not, it’s win-win.<\/p>\n
