The New York Post<\/a> reports that the city’s mayor, Michael Bloomberg launched another pointless sting against gun owners and PRIVATE sellers. This time on the internet;<\/p>\n

Investigators searched 10 websites with 25,000 guns available for sale and, posing as buyers, contacted 125 sellers in 14 states.<\/p>\n

They then began negotiating their purchases, admitting during each exchange that they couldn’t pass a background check.<\/p>\n

That should have sounded the alarm bells, since federal law prohibits weapons sales to such dicey individuals.<\/p>\n

But officials said only 48 of the 125 sellers followed the law.<\/p>\n

They said sellers on Craigslist — which supposedly prohibits the sale of firearms on its site — failed the integrity test most often, 82 percent of the time.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, this is despicable. Yes, I only want law abiding gun owners, but what is the point of this sting? These are PRIVATE sellers who don’t have licenses that can be revoked or restricted further. What does Bloomberg want to happen? Forbidding gun sales on the internet? Apparently these private sellers really don’t care who ends up with their guns, so forbidding gun sales on the internet won’t stop them.<\/p>\n

Witness: Craigslist doesn’t allow people to sell guns on their website, but people do it anyway. So by passing more laws to restrict them won’t do anything except restrict people who DO respect the law.<\/p>\n

But then Bloomberg is a liberal and the only thing that matters in liberalism is to look as if he’s concerned about an issue. Whether he can do anything constructive is irrelevant.<\/p>\n

Go watch the video at the link and if you don’t want to punch Bloomberg in his smarmy face, you’re a better than I.<\/p>\n

By the way, look at how Bloomberg blames the Ruger P95 9mm instead of the person who shot the police officer Bloomberg is talking about. Because guns kill people all by themselves. That’s why mine are in a gun safe so they don’t hunt me at night.<\/p>\n

On a related note, firearm sales are up this holiday season according to a Sacramento CBS station<\/a>;<\/p>\n

This surge in gun sales \u2014 the best holiday sales season in three years, according to the Firearms Dealers Association \u2014 got a shot in the arm on Black Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Friday sales were off the charts this year,\u201d a TDS employee said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s good news…more gun owners mean fewer Obama Democrats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
